Healthcare Now! Stand with MPS Substitute Teachers

The Milwaukee Board of School Directors

All of our students should have the best substitute teachers–teachers who enter the classroom ready to teach and inspire every single day at a moment’s notice. This commitment means providing quality, affordable health care to substitute teachers who work full time for our students.

I want the best for Milwaukee Public School students because every child deserves a quality public education in schools with caring, qualified, and committed substitute teachers. I do not believe Milwaukee Public Schools is showing substitute teachers that they are valued for their commitment to our children.

I stand with MPS substitute teachers and support the demand of the Milwaukee Teachers’ Education Association that MPS provide quality, affordable health care for every substitute teacher who works at least 32 hours per week, on average, each semester.

I ask that you ensure all of our students have the best substitute teachers–teachers who enter the classroom ready to teach and inspire every single day at a moment’s notice. I support quality health care benefits for substitute teachers who make teaching their profession. Substitute teachers deserve affordable health care benefits. By offering health care, we can attract and retain substitute teachers who are qualified, caring and committed.
