Today the #lalege finalized & passed SB 10 by @realCleoFields, to broaden kindergarten to all Louisiana students. Will give students foundation they need to be successful and is needed now more than ever, given LDOE's new K-2 assessment. #laed #EarlyChildhoodEducationpic.twitter.com/vC7l062hof

Today, Sen. Ward amended his bill (SB 142) to help support LA kids. With this amendment, 20-25% of revenue from #LouisianaSportsBetting would go towards #EarlyChildhoodEducation! Tell your legislators you support this important amendment! http://www.legis.la.gov/legis/FindMyLegislators.aspx … #lalege #laedpic.twitter.com/acxyTvtyCe

#lalege worked to ensure schools, school districts, businesses, hospitals, and healthcare professions were held harmless this year. Why not teachers? Student growth is off & teachers deserve a break. Why push back on HCR 107 @La_Believes & @cadebrumley? #COVID19 #lalege #laedpic.twitter.com/hHv3GKZGdz

Thank you @gm_carter for taking up HR 133 and HCR 107 to make sure that SLT's can't be used in teacher evaluations after this incredibly difficult year!! #lalege #laedpic.twitter.com/W9MG0piIRg

LFT will continue to push the #lalege to use additional $$ for teachers and school employees raises! We can and should match the pay increase from 2019 ($1000/$500), if not exceed it! If we want to keep our dedicated teachers, we have to show them that their service is valued!!pic.twitter.com/Rzk1KPot03

Thank you to Senator @KatrinaRJackson for bringing Senate Bill 128, which will ensure that teachers have guaranteed, duty free planning time every day. This is long overdue and greatly needed! #lalege #laed #publicschoolproudpic.twitter.com/ewsKOYJp2H

“We had hoped that the MFP Task Force would recommend a larger pay raise for teachers and school employees,” said LFT President Larry Carter. “But now that this is on the table, we will do everything we can to ensure that the MFP is passed in the legislature... #lalege #laedpic.twitter.com/0E0sbom3cv

Gov. Edwards announced that he plans to include a *small* pay increase for teachers and school employees in his new Executive Budget: $400 for teachers and $200 for support employees. Much remains unclear. #lalege #lagov #PublicSchoolsWeekpic.twitter.com/iJOJH0zl1o

Gov. Edwards announced that teachers and school employees will receive the COVID-19 vaccine beginning Monday. LFT has urged the Gov.’s office to grant educators priority access to the COVID-19 vaccine since the State first began assembling its vaccination rollout plan. #laedpic.twitter.com/Y2XUodFamz
