Westfield teachers to stage ‘walk-in’ protest Thursday against two bills in state legislature

As a show of solidarity against HB 1005 and SB 413, and in conjunction with the rest of Hamilton County’s teachers, Westfield Washington Schools teachers are planning a walk-in on Thursday, March 25 at all district schools.

Led by Westfield Classroom Teachers Association President Chris Sluder, teachers will make remarks in support of the cause, give the group action steps to continue to let their voices be heard, and sign a county-wide petition. After that, as a show of unity, teachers will walk into the building together.
