REALTeachers for SCTA

Real Teachers is proud to announce its team of candidates for the Sacramento City Teachers Association officers’ election. The Team consists of dedicated teachers from the district’s elementary, middle and high schools.

Here is our team:

Carlos Rico for President;

Joe Barnett for first Vice-President;

Owen Jackman for Second Vice-President;

Alice Mercer for Secretary;

Ben Gravitz for Treasurer;

Lori Jablonski for High School Director;

Nicole DeVore and Tari Green for the two Elementary Director positions;

Tari Green as the candidate for CTA State Council.

Real Teachers were leaders against the Teach For America Program job grab that was attempted last year, and for alerting members of the education community about the danger represented by the Fortune charter school movement this year. Each of these candidates has pledged to keep members informed and union activities transparent. They are dedicated to restoring teachers as the recognized leaders of educational policy and true education reform–reform that would improve schools for our students. Real Teachers invites you to www.real-teachers.org, and to join us on our REAL Teachers Facebook page. Please support us in this very important election.

What does labor want? We want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures.”
