Happy Women's History Month!

We've set up a page on our website that has many resources centered entirely around women, from AFT resolutions about women’s rights, to Share My Lesson resources, to the work and differences women are making in policy, in the classroom and in their communities.

OFTSE Executive Board Elections are now OPEN

04/21/2021

We have received information that the district is eliminating the live option (zoom/google meet) for today's board meeting. Now, you can only attend in person or watch the video of it - there is NO WAY to actively participate or show support virtually.

OFTSE has created an alternative. You can join us here and watch the board meeting via our Facebook Live Stream. Facebook.com/oftselocal1273

Please join us on Facebook today starting at 5pm.

OR join us in-person at the board meeting:
Location:
District Office Board Room 220 South ‘K’ Street Oxnard, CA 93030

If you cannot attend in-person, consider asking a friend or family member to attend in your place in solidarity. There are options to stay outdoors (socially distanced) and hold signs, they do not need to speak at the meeting unless they choose to do so.

American Federation of Labor 1273 Oxnard Federation of Teachers is also known as Oxnard Federation of Teachers and School Employees (OFTSE).
