RHTA Co-Presidents

Get involved.  You have a voice and they are listening…

• Join your teaching colleagues on the North Lawn of the state Capitol Building in Hartford on Tuesday, May 12.
• Your presence is needed to tell lawmakers that SB 1095 must be amended to ensure less testing, more learning for your students.
• Connecticut lawmakers should eliminate the burdensome SBAC test and create an improved system of school accountability that is not unduly tied to one arbitrary test score.
• “I believe a legislative solution is close, but we need teachers in every district across the state to turn out for the May 12 rally at the State Capitol in Hartford to bring us across the finish line.  If we mobilize and focus on our goal, we will get it done,” said Waxenberg.
