May 15, 1998 The Teacher Unions War on Education Reform By Charlene Haar rom the school house to the White House, teacher unions are the most formidable foes of the meaningful education reforms necessary to achieve superior education outcomes for children at lower costs to parents and other taxpayers. Despite their rhetoric, the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), like other labor unions, were established to redistribute income from employers to employees and the unions. There is no incentive to reduce costs when taxpayers must pay upon demand. There is no reason to excel when the best employees are paid what the worst are paid. For decades, the NEA/AFT have negotiated highly ineffective contracts covering such items as: hours of employment and compensation teacher workload and duties teacher qualifications teaching assignments and seniority benefits teacher evaluation and tenure taxpayer subsidies to the unions, such as paid time off for union work

PTO vs. PTA = Independent vs. Affiliated The technical differences between a PTA and a PTO are fairly simple. The national PTA is a formal membership organization headquartered in Chicago with a 103-year history of working for children. Local groups that choose to belong to the PTA must pay dues to the state and national organization and abide by state and national group rules. In return they get member benefits, and they get a voice in the operations of the larger organization. PTA groups also have a political voice, as the national PTA maintains a Washington lobbying office and most state PTAs advocate at their respective state capitals. The PTA protects its name, so thatin theoryonly dues-paying members of the group can call themselves "PTA." "PTO," on the other hand, is a more generic term. It generally represents the thousands of groups that choose to remain independent of the PTA. The acronym PTO is the most popular name, but other common monikers include PCC, PTG, and HSA. These are most often single-school groups that operate under their own by-laws andby and largeconcern themselves with the goings-on at their school, or in their town only. For years, the debate has been exceedingly simple to frame. Do we want to be part of something larger and spend our group dollars outside of our school? Or do we want to focus exclusively on our school where our kids are? Since the PTA was (and still is) the only formal national school parent group, the decision has often been PTA or not-PTA.

SUMMER 1995 Inside this Issue School-Based Health Care Advocates Speak Against Violence Making a Case for Case Management School-Based Health Care Assembly Breaks New Ground M ore than 500 people from around the country gathered June 23-25 to establish a national movement to support improved health services for children through school-based health care. The conferenceappropriately titled Breaking New Ground! brought together school-based health care providers, researchers, and advocates for three days of activities in Washington, DC. "This is clearly a historic occasion," said Joy Dryfoos, a long-time leader of school-based health care. "For the first time, the entire school-based health care movement is building a strong organization with the capacity for advocacy, networking, and sharing resources." If the crowd's size and enthusiasm were any indication, the effort promises to be a major success. Conference organizers expected a turnout of 350 people, but they significantly underestimated the desire for this meeting. More than 500 attendees from 42 states and the District of Columbia flocked to Washington for the occasion. Half of the participants were people who work on the front lines of school-based health care250 health center staff and community organizers. The other half reflected interest from all quarters, including educators; health care institutions; private funders; community organizations; and local, state, and federal governments. "It's wonderful to see all this energy collected in one place," said Christel Brellochs, director of the School Health Policy Initiative, which is based at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. "This conference is a catalyst that's going to propel a broad range of players with a lot of common aims to a new level of collaboration."
