URGENT: TTEA School Board Rally Feb 24, 2020 at 6:30 - show up earlier to sign up for public comment!!!!!
TTEA is asking that any and all teachers attend the TTSD School Board on Feb 24, 2020, 6:30 at the District office. And please come dressed in RED!!! At this meeting there will be a public comment period and TTEA is requesting our members show up to either make a public comment or to show your support. Come and let the School Board know if what the district is proposing in their SIA Grant application matches what we marched for on May 8, 2019. This will be the last best chance to have your voices heard about how the money we campaigned for and won should be spent! Originally, the District had planned to have a 2nd reading of their SIA Grant application on Feb 24. However, just yesterday the District informed TTEA leadership that they are moving the next public reading/comment to the School Board meeting on March 9, with the final submission of their plan to ODE on March 10 (less than 24 hours later). TTEA believes that If we wait until March 9 it will be too late for our voices to have an impact on the districts final plan. Just because the district doesn’t have it on the agenda doesn’t mean we can’t put the issue before the public and the school board. If it was important enough for you to take a stand and march for your students on May 8, 2019 then it needs to be important for you to show up on Monday Night!!!! If we remain silent now we are silent forever. If we are silent then our students will not get the schools we know they deserve. If you can't make the meeting send an e-mail to one or all of the board members voicing your concerns and tell parents, they are our best squeaky wheel.

TTEA SSA NEEDS ASSESSMENT
At our September Rep Council meeting a resolution was passed that called on TTEA leadership to form an action committee to find out from our members what were the major needs and actions that need to be addressed with the extra money coming to the district as a result of the Student Success Act (SSA).
An Action Committee was formed and began the task of researching and developing a variety of ranking and open-ended questions to use in online surveys of our members. In late September/early October the survey went out and 75% of TTEA members responded. The 2019 SSA survey questions were designed to elicit responses that could be easily converted to the CIP plan and SSA grant applications.
Once the Survey were completed the statistical data and the narrative comments were gathered, sorted and analyzed by the Action Committee throughout the month of October and into early November. The data/comments were compiled by question and studied question by question. Responses were coded and categorized by major themes that had been outlined in the Student Success Act.
The Action Committee created a rough draft report based on the survey that was submitted to the TTEA Executive Committee in November. At that time the Executive Committee reviewed and made changes to the rough draft. A 2nd rough draft was then presented to the Rep Council at our meeting in November. Reps were able to go through the report and provided additional feedback and edits as needed. The end result is a report that reflects what the major needs in our classrooms are and the recommended actions that our members see are needed to improve our schools
At our January Rep Council meeting, a Final Draft was presented and the TTEA reps passed a resolution making the TTEA Needs Assessment for the Student Success Act the official position for TTEA. These are the official goals and recommendations of TTEA when it comes to how the new SSA dollars should be spent.
Attached below is the TTEA Student Success Act Needs Assessment and Recommendations Report, which I feel accurately reflects the views of our members when it comes to the needs and actions necessary to create the schools our students deserve.
