Distractions and dishonesty abound in this world. However, YOUR UNION has your back and will always stand up for you, your students, and our communities.

When educators have a voice, schools become stronger. When schools become stronger, communities become stronger. When communities become stronger, opportunities expand for everyone.

Build a better tomorrow. Join today: https://portal.floridaea.org/fasttrack/217

The future is not something that happens to us. It is something we create together.
🙌 Every improvement in our schools began when someone decided that the current conditions could be better. Better for educators. Better for students. Better for our community.

✅ Bargaining is one of the ways we turn that belief into action.

👉 Not because contracts are about winning.
🙌 Because progress is about people.

When educators have a voice, schools become stronger. When schools become stronger, communities become stronger. When communities become stronger, opportunities expand for everyone.

That is the work.
That is the purpose.
And that future is in our hands.

⚠️ In the game of education, there are no final winners, only choices that strengthen or weaken the future.

Florida earned the nation’s lowest score for support of public education, a sign that we are investing less in the people and institutions that shape the next generation.

The question isn’t who won this year.

The question is what future we’re creating.

When experienced educators leave, students lose relationships, mentorship, stability, and expertise. When positions remain vacant, students lose opportunities. When schools struggle to recruit and retain talented professionals, the entire community feels the impact.

That is why Leon County educators are asking the Leon County School Board to address pay, benefits, and working conditions. As stewards of the community's investment in public education, the Board establishes priorities, allocates resources, and sets the parameters within which Leon County Schools operates. Those decisions directly impact our ability to recruit, retain, and support the high-quality educators students deserve.

This conversation is bigger than compensation alone.

It is about creating the conditions that allow outstanding educators to enter, remain in, and grow within the profession so that students continue to benefit from excellent schools.

We look forward to partnering with the Leon County School Board to reimagine how we support educators, strengthen student outcomes, and invest in the future of our community. The June 25, 2026 bargaining session (1:00–3:00 p.m.) is an opportunity to begin that work together.

Because every budget reflects a set of priorities.

And the choices we make today will shape the opportunities available to students tomorrow.

Dear Parent or Guardian, Every child deserves a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment.
