What Modesto Teachers Are Fighting For
For our students. For our schools. For the community we teach in.
Every one of these lands in your child’s classroom.
SMALLER CLASS SIZES
Fewer students in classrooms means more attention for your child, and more time for the ones who need it most. Modesto City Schools has one of the highest class size averages among the surrounding districts. We should not be increasing ANY class sizes.
SPECIAL EDUCATION SUPPORTS
Modesto City Schools cannot fill its special education vacancies. Every unfilled position means teachers are absorbing higher caseloads. Our students with disabilities are the ones who can least afford a revolving door of staff.
A COST OF LIVING INCREASE
Modesto teachers are going into a third year without a raise while the cost of living keeps climbing. Our district routinely carries 4 times the state required reserves. Today’s dollars should be spent on today’s students.
AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE
We want to attract and retain the teachers this community knows, trusts, and loves.
EVERY MONTH OUT OF THEIR POCKET. We can do better! Stable teachers = stable learning environments!
We are starting this school year without a contract.
Every one of these four things lands in your child’s classroom. Come to a Board of Trustees meeting. Tell your trustees a fair contract is a priority for your child and your family.
