AB 65: Paid Pregnancy Leave for Educators Act Our union is working hard with our partners in the Legislature to right a long- standing wrong and win paid pregnancy leave for all California educators. We've kept up the momentum from last year 's push and are poised to fix our broken system that leaves educators without any paid disability related to pregnancy! AB 65 (Aguiar-Curry) will end a status quo that disproportionately discriminates against women. AB 65 will: • Provide up to 14 weeks of pregnancy leave and help retain educators during a historic educator shortage. • Stop public school educators from having to choose to get by with less pay or "schedule" pregnancies based on the school calendar. • End the discriminatory practice of forcing women to deplete their leave balances to bear children. • Close the $100,000 gap in retirement that women earn compared to their male colleagues. Add your name to support the passage of AB 65 (Aguiar-Curry), historic legislation that will finally give Paid Pregnancy Leave to educators at cta.org/pregnancyleave. Status: Awaiting hearings by the Assembly committees on education and higher education. TPA Workgroup Makes Initial Recommendations The state workgroup studying the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) made preliminary recommendations, which were expected to be finalized by the State Board of Education at their February meeting. Our union has been collecting stories and submitted them to both the workgroup and state Commission Teacher Credentialing to be sure that educator voices are in the discussion. The stories have been incredibly powerful and spurred discussions about issues with the TPA and how the workgroup needs to address what educators are experiencing. Add your story at cta.org/TPAstory.
