ISTA-R Lobbying Day
Next Tuesday, February 27 is the official ISTA-Retired lobbying day. I plan to attend and have room for three more. It would be nice to have several from the Allen County Chapter to attend. Please call or email me if you are willing and have the time to spend a day to support public education and the retired. There is a bill in the chambers which would give us access to a permanent COLA. no more stipends! We need to make certain that it passes. Contact Jim Clauser. You will need to register on the ISTA web site if you plan to go.
Backpack Full of Cash
A showing of the film BACKPACK FULL OF CASH narrated by Matt Damon will be on Saturday, April 14 at 9 AM at Ivy Tech Northeast Campus, 3800 N. Anthony. There is a reception at 8:30 AM. Because of limited seating, one must register at https://goo.gl/SDwnPP. This showing is sponsored by I-PACE, NEIFPE, and ISTA. There is seating for 195. A panel discussion will follow the screening. This film deals with the drain of funds from public education to vouchers.
