Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a
politician in Austin who is from Arlington, and is the
head of the education committee. His name is Kent
Grusendorf anf he hates teachers! He blames teachers for
his son's suicide, and has been punishing teachers since
he was elected. If he gets re-elected, we will lose our
continuing contracts. We'll also lose our 22-1 class cap
for K-3, and our 30-minute duty-free lunch (I never knew
those existed until I came to Texas!) He supports
vouchers, which as we all know takes money from public
education. There is a lady running against him this year
who has a good chance of defeating him. Her name is Diane
Patrick. Early voting for this primary election is Feb
21 - March 3, and the regular election is March 7. We
have it on good authority that he plans to initiate a
nasty smear campaign against her just prior to the
primary. Those of us who care about our children are
asking that voters who live in District 94 call, write, or
email their friends and family to ask them to vote for
Diane Patrick. We're even asking those dyed-in-the-wool,
straight-Democrat-ticket voters to, JUST THIS ONCE, to
vote in the primary, vote early, and vote for Diane
Patrick. If you have friends or family in the Arlington,
Texas, area please forward this email to them and ask them
to help us defeat Kent Grusendorf. Thanks, and have a
great rest-of-the-year!

Hi, I will be in Juneau for the first weekend of August.
Is there anything special to see there that we should not
miss? Where should we stay? Any special restaurants?
Thanks.

The Arizona Department of Education, Exceptional Student
Services is excited to announce the First Annual Great
Arizona Teach-In. This 'One-stop shopping' event will
provide comprehensive information to current and future
education professionals. Schools from around the state
will be conducting interviews to obtain the best and
brightest to serve Arizona students. A resource room will
feature information on a wide array of education career
employment issues (finger printing, certification,
investigations, etc.) and participants will be able to
obtain comprehensive information, all under one roof.
In the expo center, Arizona colleges and universities will
be on hand to provide information on programs and
resources for participants. Schools from around the state
will provide information on career opportunities, and
vendors will have the opportunity to promote products to
assist educators with providing quality instruction.
During the Teach-In, workshops will be conducted on a
variety of education related topics, designed to provide
contemporary information for current and future education
professionals.
by what's the scoop?

Here are a few of the comments I"ve heard about it from the
job seekers' p.o.v.: it's a meat market, very humiliating,
admin are just there to get together with each other and
chat, only letting the high-demand contracts at this fair;
from the admin side: lots of people leaving the profession,
only two hundred candidates there for a thousand jobs,
probably won't be hiring there, just going to `establish
presence.'
I'm off-road, $500 plane ticket and hotel costs. I don't
want to go to watch districts establish presence--I want to
leave with a contract for next year!
Also, what's the `dress code' look like? Is everyone in
black suits, red ties, and gold jewelry, and signing their
contracts with a Cross fountain pen? I have an old Lands
End canvas and leather briefcase from my undergraduate
days--do I need to rethink this?
Thanks for input . . .
