GACTE what can I say.110.00 to join or no extended day. because, if you don't join the county won't pay the 250.00 registration fee. I am sorry but I just spent 5000.00 dollars for NTI " money well spent but never the less spent" 125.00 for GACE test , 46.00 for registration for skills state competition 98.00 for a room the room for that night and there is much more. Provisional wages are great yet every time you turn around they are wanting m0re and more.
If they are going to make this a requirement then why not create payment options take it out of our checks payroll deduct build it into the contracts and do a mass membership each year. why does everything have to attack the wallet if you join GAE it is payroll deducted.
We need options.
I have had the same experience with joining GACTE. We must work for the same county. I think they should pay for it. Why should I be forced to use my money to pay for something school related? Then, they tried to threaten us by saying no extended day. Well, I didn't need it. What I do for the students afterschool (Mock Trial) is because I enjoy it. It's so funny because now they asked me to teach an extra class which leads to extended day and now they have to pay me for it anyway. Extended day is not just a conference. There are so many other things involved. They are so focused on the money or how to save the county money that there is no real concern for the students.
