There is going to be a State employee rally at the Legislative Office Building on March 24th.  There are over 60 bills aimed at State employees, many of which are expected to be put to a vote on March 24th.  Attached is the list of bills (many of them are duplicative); the bad bills are highlighted in yellow and the very bad bills are highlighted in red.

State employees must make a show of force to thwart these anti-labor bills.

The MPTA issues a response to the Mt. Pleasant CSD community outlining its position with regard to the block schedule and ongoing contract negotiations. Although the MPTA does not want to use the community in our negotiations, many parents have asked us to keep them informed.

RE:          Open Letter to State Representatives who opposed House Bill 338 (the backdoor approach to the Opportunity School District)

Dear Champion Legislators:

We wish to acknowledge and thank you for respecting the fact that Georgia voters resoundingly said NO to the Opportunity School District on the November 8^th ballot.

A common practice throughout history has been to overlook, marginalize or distort the role played by women and too many names have been forgotten, lost to the ages despite their importance.

As announced in our Winter 2017 Mid-Semester Update the AAFMCC Executive Board has appointed Rick Fenwick Jr. to fill the empty Member-At-Large position on the executive board.
