“Teachers and the educational support staff continue to serve as our heroes on the front lines. They have always put our children and the community first,” said Anna Fusco, BTU President. “While educators and staff deserve much more funding from Tallahassee, this contract settlement with Broward Schools shows some level of local recognition can be made when we work together.”
