Farewell from Brian Whitson
It is with mixed emotions that I bid the members of CMAE a fond farewell. Over the two years that I have assisted CMAE members, I have learned a lot. I
encourage each member to continue to work a true professional so that our students may receive the best possible education. Also, I think that it is time that more CMAE members become engaged in the
organization. CMAE was founded as a member driven organization. The organization is by the members, for the members, and belongs to the members. It is only as strong as its weakest member. It has
been a pleasure to assist our members in workplace related issues. However, now is the time for our members to become empowered. Each member must take the initiative to become informed about their
rights and responsibilities. The challenges are great in Charlotte, however, the opportunities for success abound as well. I encourage all members to veraciously participate in the local association,
to ask the difficult and often uncomfortable questions, and to demand respect at all levels. As I transition, know that the answers to the issues and problems lies within the membership of CMAE. It
is time for that membership to awake and to advance public education and the profession in CMS. I wish each of you well and look forward to seeing the awesome success that I know lies with our CMAE
members.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and of the Senate Appropriations panel that funds education initiatives, introduced the Keep Our Educators Working Act today. The bill will create a $23 billion Education Jobs Fund to help keep teachers, principals, librarians and other school personnel on the job as states face crippling budget shortfalls.
Cosponsors of the measure so far include: Senators Begich (D-AK), Bingaman (D-NM), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Burris (D-IL), Dodd (D-CT), Durbin (D-IL), Gillibrand (D-NY), Lautenberg (D-NJ), Merkley (D-OR), Mikulski (D-MD), Murray (D-WA), Schumer (D-NY) and Stabenow (D-MI).
NCAE requests that Sen. Kay Hagan add her name to the list of above co-sponsors.
"This country is about to face a massive wave of layoffs in our schools and institutions of higher learning that could weaken our economic recovery and cause serious damage to our education system," Senator Harkin said. "This bill is an investment in our kids, in our economy and in our future."
