Tennessee is a resilient state made up of incredible people with a generous spirit. We are certain we will defeat COVID-19. We take the issue of COVID-19 very seriously, and we are monitoring the development daily. We will undoubtedly have difficult days ahead.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ The Tennessee General Assembly will pass a scaled-down version of the state budget. It is important to highlight for our educators that the proposed budget still contains a 2% raise in the BEP instructional component for our teachers. Should the crisis subside, we are confident this administration will revisit and fulfill their original commitment to teacher salaries. In the meantime, everyone across the state is tightening their belt.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Teacher salaries are one of the only wage increases that were not cut in the new, scaled-down budget, and we thank Governor Lee for continuing to prioritize our educators despite the urgent need to reallocate significant resources to prepare our state for the effects of COVID-19.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Finally, we know the legislature will be recessing to return to their home districts. Once they return to Nashville and resume the legislative session, we are hopeful that we, as a state, will have weathered the worst of this outbreak, and that the Governor’s office and legislature will revisit budget investments for public education.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ In challenging times, there will always be those who invoke fear and distrust. A crisis brings out the best, and the worst, in people. Abraham Lincoln echoed the need for our citizens to pull together when he said: “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” Our confidence is that we will come out of this crisis as a stronger state, and public education will remain a cornerstone of that endeavor. We have confidence in our future. - JC Bowman, Executive Director of @proedtn⁣⠀ .⁣⁣⁣⠀ .⁣⁣⁣⠀ .⁣⁣⁣⠀ .⁣⁣⁣⠀ .⁣⁣⁣⠀ .⁣⁣⁣⠀ #proedtn #educators #teacher5oclockclub #teacherlife #teacherlife #teachers #nashville #iteach #teacherlife #boredteachers
