The parents of Fairfax County love and respect the wonderful<br />
job that all of our public school teachers do daily with our most<br />
precious resource…our children.<br />
For Teacher Appreciation Week, consider returning the love<br />
to our teachers by giving them what they and their families<br />
most need:<br />
Money to survive!<br />
• Fairfax County teachers have had no salary or COLA increase in the past<br />
two years.<br />
• Teachers in Loudoun (3% COLA ) and adjoining Northern Virginia counties<br />
are being given raises THIS year.<br />
• County workers are being given a raise THIS year.<br />
• Many teachers in Fairfax have had to take second jobs to pay their bills<br />
and provide for their children, which takes time away from their ability<br />
to do extra-curricular work (like sponsoring clubs or mentoring) for FCPS.<br />
Please give back to our hard-working teachers this week: E-mail your School Board<br />
members and tell them to make those who educate, love and protect our children<br />
their priority in this year’s budget!<br />
