For the third day in a row, the Senate opted not to act on HB576, the bill that eliminates continuing contract for Virginia teachers. Chesterfield Senator Steve Martin requested that the bill be passed by for the day, after taking a quick look around the room. This leads me to believe that he doesn't feel that he has the votes to get the bill passed! That is a good thing: it means that our efforts to show the senators how this bill will negatively impact public schools for the future are working! Keep up the message, don't let the pressure off. Call Senators Watkins and Martin, and tell them as a constituent you want them to vote "No!" on HB576. The vote has been delayed until Monday; call today, tomorrow, and Saturday.
