From Promise to Progress

In this bargaining cycle, every proposal we bring forward will challenge the elements of our school system that operate as average. Prince George’s County is exceptional. Our brilliance and innovation come from our diversity. And yet, we have real challenges: vacancies, inefficiencies, and inequities. It’s time to move beyond promises and make real progress.

Bargaining Status: Proposals and Responses

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Teacher Un-Appreciation Rally last week! It’s crucial that we continue raising our voices and making our schools’ needs known.

On Tuesday we continued to go through PGCPS’s counterproposals, but progress is still stifled. We need all the support we can get to pressure the district towards the progress we all deserve.

Help us keep the pressure on:

Send a letter to the PGCPS School Board demanding real investment in our schools.
