Dear LEA Members,
I have written to members about snow days previously and received an overwhelming response. I have said if I put snow days in the subject line I have more members who open the email. However all kidding and snow days aside, this is a very serious time in our state when it comes to our profession, our students, and public education.
The Nebraska Legislative session begins next week,
democracy at work. The decisions the Legislature makes impacts our lives on many levels. This year will be crucial for the profession and for public education.
Education funding is always on the agenda. The lack of adequate funding continues to impact children and educators across the state. This year with the new leadership in Nebraska our concerns are heightened. Property and income tax relief promised by the Governor have potential negative consequences for education funding. Resources will be limited at the expense of our children.
Charter school and voucher bills definitely will impact students and public education resources. Every bill introduced or advanced has the potential to dramatically cut the ever shrinking funding set aside for public education.
Retirement benefits are on the minds of senators who would like to change our defined benefit system to a defined contribution system. This would cut educators deserved benefit.
We need members to run for positions who are willing to step up and speak out. There is power in collective action.
We need your voice and experience. As one of the nearly three million members of the National Education Association, you have the opportunity to participate in the democratic decision making process on three levels. We have over 25,000 members in Nebraska and nearly 2,500 members in Lincoln.
You are the NEA, the NSEA and the LEA.
Your Voice Matters!
Each year we hold elections for local, state and national association positions. Members are encouraged to become more involved in the decision making process by running for any of the positions available. Please click on the links below for more information about the positions available, the process, the election timelines and the paperwork necessary to run. An Elections Information packet has been sent to every building to post.
Please take a minute to read through the opportunities to be a more active participant
and voice in the Association.
One very easy way to explore some opportunities is to become a delegate
for NSEA Delegate Assembly.
This is a Friday evening and Saturday
event held this year
in Lincoln April 24 (beginning at 7 PM) -25, 2015.
Delegate expenses are reimbursed through NSEA.
NEA Representative Assembly is in
Orlando, Florida June 30th through July 6th, 2015.
All expenses are covered.
LEA also has two officer positions and
two Board of Directors seats available.
NSEA has several positions available for members to serve and lead.

I appreciate the work you do as educators every day. Every day you are making a difference in the lives of children as your work load continues to increase and resources decrease. I know it is difficult to add one more thing on your plate. However I also know the more people who are active and involved, the more influence we have as an association. Your voice and experience are needed to make a difference.
Thank you for taking the time to read the information and consider the possibilities of participating more in the association.
With regard,
Jenni Benson, LEA President

Professional Education, Training, and Workshop Opportunities
The LEA provides trainings and workshops through-out the year. Sometimes we host the events, sometimes we just share the information. We wish to provide our members with opportunities to grow and learn.
Below are several opportunities to expand your knowledge base.
| |
=========================================================================
Join a Legislative Contact Team!!!
Because
All Education Policy is Political
The decisions made in the Nebraska Unicameral have a tremendous impact on EVERYTHING in our classrooms, from class sizes to standardized testing to mental health services. Those same politicians also exert a strong influence on the benefits teachers earn, from an adequate salary to a defined benefit retirement plan to collective bargaining rights. The Lincoln Education Association works hard to maintain positive relationships with our elected officials, and we need more teachers who are willing to share their story by serving on Legislative Contact Teams.
Contact team members meet with elected officials once a month in a small group setting. The conversations last for about an hour and revolve around a topic where you are an expert, EDUCATION. What's going on in your classroom? What challenges do your students bring to school with them? What do you love about your work? What's something that could be done better?
If you have an interest joining a team, we'd like to invite you to a brief training on
Thursday, January 22nd at the LEA Office. The training, which includes dinner, will run from 4:15 to 6:15.
Please e-mail jenni.benson@nsea.org if you'd like to participate in a Legislative Contact Team.

Member Needs Help
| |
LEA members need help from colleagues in the form of donated annual leave. As per the provision in the negotiated agreement pertaining to the voluntary transfer of leave for catastrophic illness, I am forwarding this appeal on to LEA Members.
Individuals may voluntarily transfer any amount of their annual leave (not accumulated leave-- IRS regulations won't allow that) to a colleague in need within the bargaining unit. Leave that is not used by the individual this school year will be returned to the donors.
Please contact LPS Human Resources directly by calling Kyla Jensby at 436-1593 to request a Voluntary Leave Transfer Donor Application or e-mail her at kjensby@lps.org
LEA Friends,
I hope your first week back to school is running smoothly. My name is Amy Monroe and I am a Kindergarten teacher at Lakeview Elementary School. My husband Dan and I were blessed with a beautfiul baby girl the day before Thanksgiving, November 26th. Charlotte was born 9 weeks early and weighed in at 3 lbs 11oz. Her due date was supposed to be January 25. She was a fighter from the very beginning showing the doctors her strength and determination to be here. She was just released to come home last week after being in the NICU for 5 weeks. Although she is doing great, she still needs a little bit of extra care as she continues to develop some things that most babies develop the last month of a mother's pregnancy. Since she was so eager to meet mom and dad early, she has to work a little harder and catch up on some of that stuff now. Because of the extra care that she needs, Charlee will not be ready to go to daycare when my 8 weeks of leave is up. She still has some developing to do and her immune system isn't strong enough yet to fight off germs during the peak of cold/flu season. This brings up the reason for this message, with the request of Charlee's doctor I have been approved to use donated leave. I am writing to ask for donated leave to anyone who is willing and able to spare any of their leave. This will allow me to stay home with Charlee until she is strong enough to go to daycare. After using up all of my sick leave and disability leave, this is the next option before having to take unpaid leave. I know all of you have your own families and selves to take care of, so I am only asking for those that may have extra leave and don't think they will need to use it for themselves. If you are able to and would like to donate a day or two it is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Amy Monroe

NSEA's Children's Fund
Makes a World of Difference
NSEA members help students learn every day. They also help students be ready to learn every day, through generous giving to the Children's Fund.
Founded in 1994, the Children's Fund has one goal: to provide children with all they need to be successful at school. That might mean a new coat for a coatless child; dental work for a child in pain; eyeglasses for a child who cannot see.
The Children's Fund relies purely on donations from members, from local associations and from outside donors who understand the need and see the Children's Fund as a just cause.
NSEA members use the fund to help children when they see a need. NSEA members are also the biggest contributors to the fund - see the photos at left - and the fund is always in need. Consider the wonderful results from the gifts to the fund, as expressed in this letter from an NSEA member:
"...I hope you are able to hear my excitement and relief that one of our students has been provided with hygiene products, necessary underclothing, clothes that actually fit, and a pair of snow boots for his walk to school.
"I told him this gift was from ALL the teachers, even teachers who he's never had but that care deeply for his safety and education. I hope I never forget the look on his face. I don't think I've ever seen anyone more surprised.
"Thank you for setting up this fund to make it so easily accessible. It's made a difference in this child's life. I am so proud to be a part of NSEA, an organization that cares for students AND teachers."
Teachers often use their own cash to help these children, knowing they can't help every child. For that reason, NSEA created the Children's Fund, and continues to work to raise money.
In the past two years alone, the Children's Fund has provided nearly $100,000 in relief.
To donate - or to receive funds to help a child - there is no red tape, no form for teachers to fill out. Simply contact the NSEA at 1-800-742-0047 and ask for Sally Bodtke. Or e-mail her at: sally.bodtke@nsea.org

NSEA's 2015 Legislative Agenda
STRONG ECONOMY * STRONG SCHOOLS * STRONG FAMILIES
Because the focus in our classrooms should be teaching and learning; because the best investment we can make for the future is a strong combination of teaching and learning; and because teaching and learning serve as foundational blocks for strong schools, a strong economy and strong families, NSEA's 2015 Legislative goals focus on issues that support teaching and learning.
NSEA's legislative goals for 2015 include increasing the state's investment in P-16 public education and ensuring any changes made to the state tax structure do not reduce funding used to support strong schools, a strong economy and strong Nebraska families. It is essential that the state has the resources necessary to return to the wise tradition of investing in excellent public schools, world-class colleges and universities, and infrastructure that boosts our economy and creates a high quality of life.
Thus, NSEA will work to:
n Provide state and local funding that supports quality public education for every student;
n Promote and protect public education programs that benefit Nebraska students, teachers, higher education faculty and education support professionals.
n Encourage state programs giving educators more time to teach and students more time to learn curriculum;
n Provide increased public funding for mental health services and resources in schools;
n Support programs for reducing class sizes;
n Ensure the protection of collective bargaining rights;
n Ensure public school students and staff have respectful, safe and secure learning and working environments; and,
n Maintain prudent management and funding of the state school employees' retirement plan.
NSEA believes that any changes to the state's tax system must be revenue neutral or provide for additional funding for education. Education funding cuts first and foremost hurt students, but also harm staff, schools, colleges and our economy. Stability and predictability in state and local funding for schools is crucial. It is in the best interest of all Nebraskans to keep schools fully staffed. Maintaining a broad, deep and challenging curriculum and appropriate class size will help raise student achievement and ensure our state's educational and economic competitiveness.

NSEA Legislative Update: December 4, 2014
In This Update:
- Strategic Plan
- Burgeoning Class Size in Schools
- Amount of Standardized Testing Required
- Lack of Mental Health Services for Students
Strategic Planning for Education
LB1103, adopted in the 2014 Legislative Session, requires the Education Committee of the Legislature to conduct a strategic planning process to create a statewide vision for education in Nebraska. The committee is required to submit a report regarding the visioning process on or before Dec. 31, 2014. In preparation, the Committee held public meetings across the state. Following is a summary of issues that NSEA testifiers presented at those meetings.
Vision:
NSEA's vision for education in Nebraska is straightforward: Provide a great public education for every student. At NSEA, we are focused on improving the quality of teaching, increasing student achievement, and making schools better, safer places to learn. An important part of this work is ensuring that every student - regardless of socio-economic status, race, gender, or other factors - is taught by a motivated, well-trained, highly qualified teacher.
Burgeoning Class Size in Schools
Educators know firsthand that class size affects everything a teacher and their students do. In most school districts in Nebraska, we've seen an increase in the student/teacher ratio and that increase is negatively affecting student learning. The problem is exacerbated when the student affected is an English Language Learner. Our students are not getting the individualized attention they need to succeed.
Today's typical classrooms are more diverse than in years past. Some students have mental or emotional disabilities or behavior problems. Some students speak little or no English. One in five students live in poverty. Students have a range of backgrounds and achievement levels. Students who need individual attention are unlikely to receive it in a large classroom of 30-40 students. Smaller classes help to develop the non-cognitive skills that are important to success in work, college, and later in life - skills such as persistence, motivation and self-esteem.
As society asks more and more of public schools, Nebraska's Legislature needs to provide smaller class sizes so teachers can provide the individual attention all students need to learn and achieve at high levels. A reduction in class size will lead to improved student achievement and fewer behavioral issues in the classroom.
Amount of Standardized Testing Required
We believe it is important to protect the time needed for direct instruction of our kids. Standardized testing continues to eat away at instructional time and, in many cases, is neither productive nor helpful in providing the teacher with timely information that could be used to improve student learning. Excessive use of these tests promotes a drill-like "teaching to the test" approach, and undermines our State's ability to produce innovators and critical thinkers.
Standardized tests have been a part of American education since the mid-1800s. Their use skyrocketed after 2002's No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) mandated testing in all 50 states. But research has shown that the use of standardized testing has not improved student achievement and is not a reliable measure of student performance. Since NCLB's introduction, American students have slipped from 18th in the world in math in 2000 to 31st place in 2009, with a similar decline in science.
Increasingly, instructional time is being consumed by standardized test preparation in Nebraska. The Nebraska State reading test, known as NeSA-R, is given statewide to third through eighth grades, and high school. Students in third grade through eighth grade, as well as high school students, take the NeSA-M Math test. Students in fourth or fifth grade, eighth grade, and 11th grade take the NeSA-S Science test. Fourth, eighth, and eleventh grade students take the NeSa-W Writing Test. Each test takes between two and three hours to complete.
Excessive testing may teach children to be good at taking tests, but does not prepare them for productive adult lives. Also, these tests have been shown to cause severe stress in younger students. Third grade is when the NeSa math and reading tests begin for children between the ages of eight and nine years old.
Lack of Mental Health Services for Students
Teachers report that they see a growing number of students who need mental health services, yet our public schools are not equipped to provide such services for all of students. We do not have enough guidance counselors, school psychologists, social workers, and teachers who are trained to work with students on issues such as suicide, sexual harassment and abuse, bullying, harassment of gender, race, religion, or national origin, drug abuse, and many other mental health issues facing our students.
Tackling the issue of mental health services for our students will require us to work with Health and Human Services, medical professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, juvenile justice, and educator preparation institutions. The support system to create positive, safe and successful learning environments as espoused by the Education Committee will take a partnership.

VICTORY! Historic E-Rate increase to help over 20 million students
In large part thanks to the sustained advocacy of NEA members, including during the Representative Assembly, the Federal Communications Commission approved a historic $1.5 billion increase in E-Rate funding that will help over 20 million students during the next five years by providing affordable telecommunications and Internet access for public schools and libraries. "All of our students, regardless of their zip code, deserve access to the digital tools and the time to learn," said NEA President Lily Eskelsen Garc�a. "The first-ever significant increase in funding of the E-Rate program will bring broadband to the communities that need it the most-students and educators in urban, rural, and low-density populated areas."
Congress passes major funding and tax bills that help students and educators
Before adjourning, the 113th Congress passed two significant bills-the so-called "cromnibus" and "tax extenders"-containing provisions favorable to students and educators.
The cromnibus, the NEA-supported fiscal year 2015 budget deal, funds the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through February and the rest of the government through September. Of note, the bill provides small increases for critical formula-grant programs essential to addressing inequities and providing targeted help to those most in need of extra assistance, including students in poverty, children with disabilities, and English-language learners; a $75 million increase in the Child Care and Development Block Grant; a $100 increase in the Pell Grant maximum; small increases for minority-serving institutions of higher education, including historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs); and prevented an overall waiver that would have walked away from Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition and school meal standards. While the bill was far from perfect, the alternative of a three-month stopgap funding measure would have been worse for education.
The tax extenders bill continues the NEA-supported $250 educator tax deduction for classroom supplies, and the Qualified Zone Academy Bond (QZAB) program for school construction and improvements.
New Congress, new look, new year
The Education Insider will unveil a new look in 2015, bringing you updates and advocacy opportunities to influence the 114th Congress.
Thank you, cyber-lobbyists, for these victories!
From Capitol Hill to the classroom, your voice AND your membership matter. NEA thanks all 656,827 of our cyber-lobbyists. The 142,836 emails sent to Congress by cyber-lobbyists played a critical role in winning these victories for students and public education in 2014:
- Obtained a historic $1.5 billion increase in E-Rate funding that will help over 20 million students over the next five years
- Preserved and slightly increased fiscal year 2015 funding for formula-grant programsthat providetargeted help to those most in need, including students in poverty, children with disabilities, and English-language learners
- Nearly restored fiscal year 2014 funding to pre-sequester levels for core K-12 programs like Title I and IDEA, early childhood, and career preparation programs serving the students most in need
- Reauthorized and secured a $75 million increase in funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) program, which helps makechild care affordable for low-income families
- Extended the $250 educator tax deduction for classroom supplies and the Qualified Zone Academy Bond (QZAB) program for school construction and improvements
- Enacted the bipartisan NEA-supported Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, the long overdue reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act
- Prevented an overall waiver that would have walked away from Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition and school meal standards crucial to combating child hunger, promoting wellness, and preparing students to learn
- Secured bipartisan support for amendments to add greater accountability and transparency to the House-passed Success and Opportunity through Quality Charter Schools Act
