 State workers around the Commonwealth are not sure what the next step is in the fight over pension reform and retirement plans. The bill affects everyone differently depending on what stage of their career they're in. Whether it be non-tenured, mid-career or ready to retire. It would affect me by losing sick days towards my pension, but I think the biggest impact is on the educational system as a whole because you're not going to get as quality of teachers and the inviolable contract for a teacher who's just starting for them to get a contract that will change at any time the governor or legislatures decide it changes. That's kind of scary. I worry about our incoming teachers. Our student teachers at this point. Our teachers that are in college and they're three years in, getting ready to do their student teaching and their uncertainty because they don't have that pension to fall back on. They're not grandfathered in. Those teachers are no longer pursuing that field in education, no longer in that career and they're going somewhere else or doing something else with their career choices. Yeah, our class sizes could go up or the number of teachers that we have, the staffing across the districts will go down and will have a negative impact overall. I've been talking with my other student teachers at UPyke and they're worried too and even the ones that are coming up into the education program, they don't know if they want to continue in education and like we've all discussed that's going to take away the quality of teachers and we're going to get mediocre at its best and where I wonder what we're going to do next, do I want to continue on and be a teacher which is something I've wanted to do all my life. The county schools have been canceled for tomorrow. Most teachers will be heading to the capital. For those who can't make it, a support rally will be held at Belfry Middle School from noon until two. In Belfry, Shelby Porter, EKB News.
