Dan Kivett, from Redlands Education Support Professionals Association, is CTA’s 2019 Paula J. Monroe Education Support Professional of the Year.

When I got into teaching, it was this idea of really transforming our schools. One of my biggest responsibilities as a teacher is to serve as an advocate for my kids. Hundreds of teachers are hitting the picket lines…thousands gathered here. We need smaller class sizes. More counselors and more nurses. We have to be able to invest in our young people. Every student has a right to a quality education. No matter what neighborhood you live in. Our students don’t have part-time needs so they can’t have part-time solutions. Because we know quality public schools make a better California for all of us.
