United we stand — TEA members discuss teacher evaluation and<br />
legislative ideas during the <strong>Tennessee</strong> Urban <strong>Education</strong> <strong>Association</strong> Council<br />
meeting at the TEA headquarters in Nashville in mid-September.<br />
Have a Legislative<br />
Idea? Send it to TEA<br />
Since the founding of the <strong>Tennessee</strong> <strong>Education</strong><br />
<strong>Association</strong>, promoting legislation to advance public<br />
education—and to benefit students and educators—has<br />
been a major objective of the <strong>Association</strong>.<br />
In keeping with that objective, TEA is seeking your<br />
recommendations of<br />
items to be included in<br />
the next TEA Legislative<br />
Program. All suggestions<br />
will be considered by the<br />
TEA Legislative Editing<br />
Committee appointed by<br />
President Gera Summerford.<br />
The Editing Committee will develop a<br />
proposed program which will be presented<br />
to the TEA Representative Assembly next<br />
spring. The Legislative Program gives<br />
guidelines to leaders and staff as they<br />
work to promote our members’ legislative<br />
concerns in the General Assembly.<br />
The <strong>Tennessee</strong> <strong>Education</strong> <strong>Association</strong><br />
wants to be responsive to members’<br />
concerns. If you have issues you would like<br />
TEA to submit to the <strong>Tennessee</strong> General<br />
Assembly, please send them to us. You<br />
can also email them directly to TEA’s<br />
Government Relations division. You can<br />
be assured that all suggestions will be<br />
given serious consideration by the TEA<br />
Legislative Editing Committee.<br />
Completed forms should be returned no<br />
later than <strong>October</strong> 31, 2011, to:<br />
Jerry Winters, Manager, TEA Government<br />
Relations, 801 Second Avenue North,<br />
Nashville, TN 37201-1099, or email to:<br />
sstinson@tea.nea.org.<br />
Please send your ideas<br />
to be included in the TEA<br />
Legislative Program by<br />
