ACEA MEMBERS DID OUR PART-NOW WE NEED OUR ELECTED LEADERS TO DO THEIRS!

ACEA and MSEA members marched by the thousands, emailed, made phone calls, spoke with our delegations and won for our schools and our students! The Blueprint for Maryland's Future will provide over 3 million new dollars in state funding for things like mental health services, special education and areas with high concentration of poverty. Because of the advocacy of our members and our allies The Blueprint is one step away from becoming law!

Our members did their part for our schools and students. Now we need our local elected leaders to do theirs. One essential piece of The Blueprint is the Teacher Salary Enhancement Grant. It creates the opportunity for educators to see an overall salary increase of 9% over the next two years. It's time for our local elected officials to show that they appreciate the hard work and advocacy of our members by finding the resources to fund the local portion of the increases.

​ACEA Supports the Annual School Readiness Fair
March 2, 2019

​
​Congrats to ACPS Teacher of the Year Sarah Llewllyn and ACEA ESP of the Year Christine Rephann! 

John Reuschlein was remembered at the Judy Center's Annual School Readiness Fair by the Cat in the Hat, David Buskirk.  A gift basket in John Reuschlein's honor was donated and raffled off at the fair.  ACEA President, Kim Sloane, honored John with these words that she wrote:

"There was a man with no hat
But once every year he fixed that
For Dr. Seuss' birthday was always on his mind
and he would wear the tallest hat,
​oh yes the perfect kind
With beautiful stripes of red and white
It rose up to the perfect height
To show not pride, but something more
That reading was a gift to the little ones he adored."

​John was a powerful part of the annual School Readiness Fair, although he was not physically there, his presence was felt by many.  ACEA supports the annual School Readiness Fair by gathering donations from community members to purchase books for the Allegany County Public Libraries to give to children who attend the fair.
