Teachers Union Submits Endorsements of School Committee Candidates
Tuesday, June 23, 2015
The Educational Association of Worcester (EAW) has voted to endorse who they believe "best embody the advancement of public education." The endorsed candidates are Dianna Biancheria, Donna Colorio, Molly McCullough, John Monfredo, and Brian O’Connell.
“The EAW-endorsed candidates all share a clear understanding of the strengths and challenges within Worcester Public Schools, and commend the achievements of our city’s students and teachers,” EAW President Len Zalauskas said. “They also respect Worcester teachers as professionals, and recognize their commitment to students in the face of unfunded mandates and ever-growing education reform demands. The 1,500 EAW members who live in Worcester look forward to casting their votes for the endorsed candidates in November.”
The union's endorsement process included a questionnaire, written response submission, and the interviewing of Worcester School Committee candidates.
Biancheria, Monfredo and O'Connell currently serve on the School Committee and are up for re-election.
According to the EAW, "these candidates support the EAW’s call for safe schools, engaged communities, and a moratorium on high stakes standardized testing. The EAW and its members will collectively and individually support these School Committee endorsements by participating in campaigning and other activities."
