CTA’s LGBTQ+ Safety in Schools Grant & Scholarship Program in Honor of Guy DeRosa was created to promote human and civil rights by making our public schools safe for LGBTQ+ persons. The program was renamed in 2009 in memory of member and educator Guy DeRosa, a lifelong advocate for civil and human rights and LGBTQ+ issues. Deadline to apply is May 31.

CTA offers many other opportunities to help you, your dependents and your students get support and recognition, from funding for classroom/school projects to assistance in pursuing educational goals. Check them out at cta.org/scholarships.

The June 7 Primary Election is just weeks away. Help elect candidates and local ballot measures that will support public education and help ensure our students, educators and schools have the equitable resources they need to succeed.

CTA recommends Tony Thurmond, pictured above, for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Thurmond has a proven record of standing with our students and educators. He is a trusted ally who will continue to advocate for education funding, work to attract and retain educators, and stand up to those seeking to privatize our schools. Visit stories.cta.org/whytony to hear directly from educators about why they support him.
