Red For Ed Wednesdays
Every Wednesday, CCEA joins teachers across the state of Florida in a visible show of support for our neighborhood public schools. We wear RED for Public Ed because we know all too well the compromises that have to be made --and the impact of those compromises on our students-- when funding for our schools is inadequate or bogged down in mandates. We wear red to call attention to the solvable problems in education. Recruiting and Retaining teachers can't be solved with flawed accountability systems. With more than 3,500 teacher vacancies in K12 classrooms across Florida at the start of the 2019-2020 school year, Florida schools aren't failing--FUNDING is FAILING Florida's schools!
