It’s November and our members have been hard at work for three months. It has been a busy election season and I would like to thank all the teachers, nurses, counselors and speech and language pathologists who have been helping out since Labor Day with our BTA campaigns to make BUSD better for all of us.
I have really enjoyed the school site visits this fall, and hearing from our members has helped shape how we make our school sites better for everyone who works there and for all students to get a good education.
The dedication of members makes Burbank so great. We are all leaders in the classroom, and we are all learning how to be leaders for our colleagues. It is that never give up attitude that shows the strength of our BTA membership and how we can continue to grow and evolve as educators. I appreciate all your support, and I will continue to work hard for all members.
In unity,
Nicole
