GCEA and MSEA members have marched by the thousands, sent thousands of postcards, written thousands of emails, made hundreds of phone calls, met personally with our delegations on behalf of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future and now Garrett County Public Schools will see $1.1 million in funding for fiscal year 2020. That's funding that will go toward special education and dealing with the mental health issues our students face.

But we need the BOE and Commissioners to do their part now! At stake is additional funding for educator salaries. The BOE must provide enough funding to raise salaries by an average of 3% in order to get a match of an additional 1.5% from the state. This is an important opportunity for our elected officials to show that they mean what they say when they tell our members that they appreciate all the hard work they do.  

Sign the petition and let them know that you did your part to secure more funding for GCPS and that we need them to do their part and compensate our members like the professionals they are!
