If you caught Erika Mellon's article on the budget (http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl?id=2008_4589610), then you noticed the positive response we have received from at least four of our trustees. We should all recognize the quality leadership exemplified by board members that prove priorty one is to attract and retain high quality tachers: Carol Mims Galloway, Paula Harris, Larry Marshall, and Greg Meyers (Manuel Rodriguez has been supportive of the raise during board workshops).
If you live in their district, please make sure you watch the vote today and send them a big thank you for being LEADERS on this issue.
It looks like Natasha Kamrani, Diane Johnson, and Harvin Moore are moving to vote against the budget. Does that give you a clear picture of where you stand on the priority list? Keep those contacts coming if you live in those districts. I know that I will be watching from a far to see what vote my board trustee takes.
Last and best chance to reach them would be to send a note to sharris12@houstonisd.org. Ask her to forward to your chosen board member.
If you aren't working today it might be a good idea to witness the discussion in the board auditorium today.

Unfortunately, I will still make less than a beginning teacher who also receives a sign-on bonus and I have been teaching for 12 years.
This is really getting old.
