Our New Paraprofessional Council Organizing Committee Meeting at Our Union Hall in January, 2008
|
Congratulations on the formation of our new Paraprofessional Council! CSEA/SEIU Local 2001's Executive Council met on March 25 and voted to approve the new Council By-Laws that our Organizing Committee proposed in January and presidents of Chapters representing paras ratified in February.
As we look forward to improving the classroom experience for the children our members instruct and educate, it is clear that we need to build power for paraprofessionals. The simple fact is that Boards of Education and school administrators do not truly appreciate or value the work of paraprofessionals, which has resulted in limiting our voices on the job.
