, kicked off its"We Know Our Worth" campaign to demand better pay for teachers and support personnel in the. Dunlap told the audience that she and her colleagues are now paid less than they were 10 years ago when adjusted for inflation. As a result, many have been driven outside the city by skyrocketing living expenses. Those who are still here are barely making it."Most teachers I know work a second job," Dunlap said."But one job should be enough.
In addition to pay raises, Education Austin is asking AISD to fully staff the schools, clearly define job descriptions, and place a hard cap on class sizes."It's about taking our workload from insurmountable to manageable," said, who teaches French at Bowie High School."As a language teacher, I've never in my 12 years had the tools, resources, and support to have a manageable workload, much less a reasonable one.
Preston and her fellow union members are all too aware that heavy workloads are driving teachers out of the profession, creating a cycle where the remaining teachers continue to be overburdened. She said the only way to fix the problem is to treat teachers right."We know our worth," Preston said."Let's push our leadership to give us what we deserve – a reasonable workload, achievable during contract hours.
