Members of the BEA and other BPS bargaining units united with other unions and citizens to fight for the future of Public Education. The April 17th rally was a demonstration by many to stand up for the rights of students, parents, and educators.
The BEA and MEA both proudly endorse Amy Hockammer, Jennifer Rass, and Jason Tejani for the Birmingham Public Schools Board of Education!
If you are a BPS resident, please reach out to your building representative for a yard sign. Stay tuned for ways to help support these candidates!
WE NEED YOU! Our endorsed slate of candidates, the incumbents Jennifer Rass, Amy Hochkammer, and BCS parent Jason Tejani are the champions we need to support staff and students. Their common belief is that ALL of our students will be motivated, challenged, and prepared post high school for college, trade or tech school, or the work force.
