Substitute teachers organizing in Birmingham

by Kervin Fondren

Dec 7, 2008

I am serving as the first President of the Birmingham Professional Substitute Teachers Alliance working with certified substitute teachers in the Birmingham City Schools. The Birmingham City Schools district is one of the largest urban school districts in Alabama, and yet subs only get $60 a day with no benefits. I am organizing subs to meet in January to attain some collective bargaining efforts to increase benefits and get consistent professional development training for subs on the table. I will work closely with the National Substitute Teachers Alliance, Birmingham Education Association, Alabama Education Association and the local school board. We need qualitative substitutes not just a quantity of subs! Together WE can do more-what do you think???

Substitute Teacher I know that it has been awhile since you posted this message, but I thought it might be worth a shot. I realize the 09-10 school year has already started, but I was wondering if you knew of any schools in this area who are looking for substitute teachers. I am looking for something on Fridays. Thank you in advance for any help.
