On October 26th, NEA President Becky Pringle and her team stopped at PEA during her national Back to School Tour. PEA was hand picked to be local for Colorado that would host Becky during her tour to see firsthand how locals across the country are doing. At the PEA office, members had the opportunity to film multiple recruitment videos for potential members.

PEA President John Robinson showed off PEA’s school board election strategic plan. Becky also learned more about the goals of Equity Council and CORE. PEA leaders sat down with Becky and discussed strategies for achieving PEA’s strategic goals and obtaining leadership positions. Along with recognizing PEA’s achievements and praising members for all of the hard work, Becky also gave meaningful words of encouragement.

After door-knocking, Becky attended PEA’s Get Out & Vote rally. Attendees heard powerful speeches from Becky, CEA President, Amy Baca-Oehlert, and PEA President John Robinson. All three spoke to the importance of the election and encouragement to continue campaigning.

PEA-endorsed school board candidates Carolyn Reed, Jessica Zamora, Kristen Draper, and Jim Brokish spoke with Becky about current PSD-related issues and campaign efforts.
