Advocacy needed support SB113

It is time to let our voices be heard with our State Senators. A bill is being presented by a Senate Committee on the floor proposing that a Principal be added to the State Board of Education. They already have community members, a student, a parent, and a teacher on the board but currently lacks representation from school leaders. We have been fighting for years to get a principal on the State Board,as Principals play a critical role in bridging policy and practice, ensuring the success of both students and educators. (A message from MCAAP MCBOA President, Dr. Christine Handy)

 From Chris Truffer, Executive Director MASSP 

What’s Next for SB113?

The EEE committee(Education, Energy, and Environment Committee)  is holding a hearing on SB113 on Wednesday, January 29th.  Members of MAESP and MASSP will be testifying in-person and virtually.  After the hearing, the EEE committee will vote yea or nay on the bill.

What can you do?

Contact members of the EEE committee requesting that they give a “favorable report” for SB113.  Your emails should be brief and include why you think MSDE needs a sitting principal on the State Board of Education.
