November 2026

Happy November!

Election Day is Tuesday! Thank you for the very small few of you that came out and canvassed for our 2 Trustee Candidates: Brent Lee and Dr. Noemi Hernandez Alexander! My hope is that RCTA members understands the gravity of how important this election is for our families and members!

I want to thank members that served in the armed forces! There are no word of thanks that any of us can convey how important you are!

The 2nd week of November is National School Psychologist week! Please thank your site's Psychologist! They work hard to provide much needed services to our students!

CTA 1st State Council was Oct. 23-25th. I would like to thank our 1st State Council members Nadine Mugridge and Stephanie Devis for volunteering their weekend to do the good work for the Association!

RCTA Executive Board wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving week! Enjoy family, friends and Turkey!

Many Thanks,

Laura

Are you getting the message from your site reps. The Associations goal is that your Site Rep. is having a 10 min. meeting right after our last RCTA Site Rep. the last Tuesday of the month! Are you getting first had info. from your Site Rep.? Do you not have a Site Rep. at your Site?

I have experienced this year more educators than any other year having conflict with fellow educators! WHY? Stress, unable to communicate one on one? How can we help! We are in this together! Please share with me your thoughts or how we as a union can facilitate conversation to make change! Why are people not willing to talk one on one with each other to fix an issue! Aren't we the ones to model for our students! This is an issue that we need to discuss openly!

We would like to gather educators and parents to discuss SLP information and guidance!
