ALL IN To Reopen Our Schools: Facebook Mtg. July 14, 5-7:00 PM

UPDATE: THIS MEETING HAS TRANSPIRED:
LOOK for information regarding the full release of subcommittee recommendations soon!

The All In to Reopen Our Schools plan has been developed by 14 subcommittees composed of a cross-section of over 300 education stakeholders within five categories:

  1. Academic Programming and Instructional Support
  2. Academic Personnel and Developing Capacity
  3. Family Support & Wellbeing
  4. School Operations for a Safe and Healthy Environment
  5. Communications, Outreach and Community Coordination 

These subcommittees have shared their recommendations for the best course of action to keep PPS students and staff safe during the reopening process with the Superintendent and Executive Cabinet.

On Tuesday, July 14, the Executive Cabinet will report to the full All In to Reopen Our Schools Committee on those recommendations that will move forward for 2020-2021.

PFT Retirees: Join The New AFTPA Retirees Page

PFT Retirees: Join The New AFTPA Retirees Page

At the 2019 AFTPA Convention in July, PFT Retiree Chapter President Pat Colangelo introduced a statewide Facebook page for all Pennsylvania AFT locals to utilize as a single source group to share information and news relevant to state AFT retirees.

“This is a simple and effective way for retiree chapters from across the state to stay in touch and share information,” Pat said. “If we all share a little more information—whether it’s about events, retiree news, legislation, or our grassroots efforts for the all-important upcoming Census and elections, this is another way for us to stay union strong and active well into our retirement.”

If you’re an AFT retiree from Pennsylvania, please join our group, share pictures, videos, stories, or just have conversations with union brothers and sisters across the state!

All AFTPA retired members are welcome to join the page here.
