TAAAC Updates: March 3-9, 2025

As educators and community members, we join in solidarity to advocate for a strong public school system here in Anne Arundel County. If we want to move AACPS from good to great, then we need to commit to raising the revenue to fully fund our schools. We know that our children are worth the investment!

As a result, we urge our elected leaders to ensure that our schools are fully funded in order to do the following:

• Ensure the entire educator pay scale is competitive with surrounding counties so we can BOTH recruit and retain educators

• Ensure all school system staff receive a living wage so that one job is enough

• Ensure there is increased staffing to reduce class sizes and caseloads

• Ensure there is increased staffing to support our special education students and multilingual learners

At the February Board of Directors Meeting, TAAAC Leadership voted to form a workgroup that would collaborate with the Baltimore Teachers Union in advocating for new legislation that would allow educators and public sector workers the right the strike. If you are interested in learning more and participating, add your name below.

Get to know the legislators who represent your schools and students! This year, we're advocating for AACPS priority legislation on flexible school scheduling, MSEA priorities for fair tax improvments and protection of education funding, and other TAAAC priorities such as immigrant rights and gun reform! Join us every Monday night.
