Seattle Educators - 8 for 4 School Board Candidates!

EACH of us needs to reach out to 8 friends and family to recommend the following 4 school board members. EACH of us needs to email or to talk in person or to phone call 8 Seattle voter people who trust us on this school stuff. 

Hello out there in working teacher & working educator world! Remember starting the school year on strike! Why were we on picket lines instead of in our buildings and our classrooms, with our kids?

Do you remember Superintendent Nyland's bargaining team ignoring our bargaining team from May until August 17, when they rejected everything? Do you remember the hardball from the district? Do you remember that the Seattle Public School School Board voted to give Mr. Nyland authority to take us to court for exercising a human right to organize and to petition for redress of grievance? (except for Sue Peters and Betty Patu)? Do you remember that this was the school board which hired Mr. Nyland last November, at the last minute, with an announcement of a key meeting on the Wed. before Thanksgiving weekend?

EACH of us needs to reach out to 8 friends and family to recommend the following 4 school board members. EACH of us needs to email or to talk in person or to phone call 8 Seattle voter people who trust us on this school stuff.  

IF we don't participate, THEN elected officials patronize us. They have less incentive to help us help our kids, and more incentive to do what they've been doing for years - pat us on the heads and tell us what we want to hear.

Please vote before Tues. 3 Nov. 2015 for Jill Geary & Leslie Harris for School Board of Seattle Public Schools. I support both because they're qualified: they're on the side of our kids, our community, and those of us working in the schools.  Both are attorneys with years of experience in SPS legal issues. Both have or have had children in our schools.

Jill is running in District 3 to replace Harium, who isn't running.  http://www.jillforschoolboard.com/  Jill's opponent (Lauren ...) is endorsed by Seattle School Board members who hired Superintendent Nyland last Nov., in a very last minute, behind closed door anointment. Remember Sup. Nyland – THE REASON we building working stiffs were out on a picket line instead of in our classes with our kids? 

Leslie is running in District 6 http://harrisforschoolboard.com/ against the incumbent, Marty McLaren. Marty helped hire Sup. Nyland last Nov. and she voted to allow Sup. Nyland to take us teachers to court for some legal injunction garbage, because we working stiffs are exercising our human rights to stand up together.

I support Rich Burke who has been on the side of educators, kids and the community. I don't know much about his campaign opponent. http://www.rickburke4schools.com/ 

Jill & Leslie & Rick will need help after ballots go out on Wed. 14 Oct. The busiest voting weekends will be around Sat. the 24^th and Sat. the 31^st.  Does your yard face a busy street where you could put up a sign? Can you phonebank or leaflet at weekend events? Contact their campaigns!
