For American Education Week, CTA will be joining unions across Florida in celebrating why we love our public schools. At a time when public schools are under constant attack, it is more important than ever to lift up the outstanding work you do and to remind our community of the incredible educators who make OCPS schools among the best in the state. This week-long celebration is an opportunity to highlight the reasons we ❤️ public schools, to stand proudly with our colleagues across Florida, and to show the community what makes our neighborhood public schools so special.
Take Action!
