Comment after losing the vote in favor of 4A:


"It would be easy to take this rejection and come to the conclusion that we are not valued as a profession or that our community doesn’t support our efforts and/or our students.  I think that’s wrong.  This was a specific denial of a specific request and does not reflect a wider negative attitude towards educators or education."

                                -Rick Peterson, MVEA President 11/6/19
