actually whether AEA or not ALL teachers in Alabama will lose their defined benefit pension..and the state will go to a 401k system...they also have a bill where teachers will be required to work until they are 60 no matter how many yrs they have in. They are also considering cutting the school year by 5 days for students and 5 days for teachers. Thats 5 days of lost instructional time and 10 days of lost pay. It is not only the teachers being affected... this is what Ive been trying to say..the budget was cut from $75 per teaching unit for textbooks to $15. There arent any textbooks for $15. Alabama pays the lowest taxes of ANY state, you can blame everything on the teachers, however, at some point everyone has to join together and try and solve the problem.
