VOCACY VISION
people not fitting into a certain educational
or political environment. We have lost some
good educators in our state because of this
subjectivity, and we would argue many of
these educators deserve another chance to
keep their careers going. This will require
policymakers to make teacher retention and
recruitment a top priority.
The consistency of the same issues in the last
few years means that much work remains as
educators are not seeing the needed changes.
Policymakers and stakeholders must continue
to work to make improvements in policies that
impact salary, school climate, and student
behavior. Education policy must remain a high
priority across the state.
