“I'm quite sure everyone here has the same hope for tonight's meeting which is a contract settlement. The PEA has accepted this contract. Now the future of our children rests in your hands.”
“The kids are really the innocent victims. We value what [teachers] bring to the classroom and think legislation has to be fair. We just don't want our kids put in the crossfire.”
“Contracts have to be negotiated to benefit teachers and taxpayers, but with the best interests of our children as the primary goal. Our group has the momentum to go statewide. If we can all work together, our voices will be loud, succinct and carry the weight of the people not only to Harrisburg but to Washington as well.”
