The Connection

Hello all,

I hope everyone had an excellent Thanksgiving break and got to spend time with all your favorite people. We’ve wrapped our yearly recertification election and kudos to everyone on their hard work to turn out the Union Yes vote. The state average was 76%, the highest in the last five years and possibly ever! Now more than ever educators are understanding how important their union is in the fight for public schools. Special shout out to our Region 3 Local Unions that were above the state average:

Florence 98%

Oostburg 97%

Pembine 92%

Ashwaubenon 90%

Port Washington-Saukville 87%

Freedom 86%

Oconto Falls 86%

Oconto 86%

Chilton 85%

Coleman 84%

Sevastopol 83%

Pulaski 81%

Cedar Grove-Belgium 79%

Sheboygan 78%

Kiel 78%

Congrats everyone!

WEAC

Stockbridge EA members bought their own shirts this year to show off their union pride and solidarity. Located on the shores of Lake Winnebago, their motto is “Ride the Wave for Public Education.” Members wear them on the days when their school board meets. SEA members then attend the evening board meeting in their shirts.

During their upcoming December 12 in-service day, they will be doing a building visit with their coworkers with a hot cocoa cart!
