RCEA Officers Needed

The Rockiingham County Education Association  is in need of officers to help with events and recruiting new members. At this point there are only TWO officers who are handling everything, from being President, Treasurer, working on the Blog Post, going to the Rockingham County New Teacher Orientation and even going to School Board Meetings. 

We need help from members to be contacts at their school to hand out gifts and make sure everyone knows what events are coming up. Stand up and let us know if you will help! WE NEED YOU!

VEA Lobby Day 2023

Nancy Bassett, RCEA President, and Amy Harris, RCEA Treasurer, attended the VEA Lobby Day on January 16, 2023 in Richmond, VA. The day began with a Rally at the Bell Tower at 9:00am, where we met with other attendees from around the state and heard many speakers, including Delegate Barker, Delegate Locke and Delegate Maldonado. VEA President Dr. James J. Fedderman led the rally.

After the rally, Nancy and Amy went to visit and speak with the Delegates and Senators from their areas concerning education bills coming up in the Delegate Assembly this year. They met with Delegate Tony Wilt, Delegate John Avoli and Senator Emmet Hanger. Delegate Avoli has a bill he is sponsoring to get more ELL teachers into school buildings. To find out more about what will be happening in the Delegate Assembly this year and the bills that the VEA supports and opposes go to https://strongschoolsva.org/resources/.
