Best Wishes to All of Our OAPSA Retirees! Learn how retirees can be honary members for FREE! See below for details! | Marilyn MauckChief Instruction and Achievement Officer Positive Education Program My 42 years of teaching and administration have brought me such joy and fulfillment over my years working with children and their families. From working in Brecksville, to CH-UH, to Los Angeles to Orange and finishing my career at PEP. I have worked with outstanding colleagues in the field of education and mental health. There was never a day where I thought twice about my work with children. Their excitement about learning and their passion to grow was heart-warming. My colleagues were supportive and worked hard each and every day both when I was a teacher and administrator. Without them I could not have been successful in my various positions. I am grateful for those I worked with and so proud of the children and families who gave it their all. There is work to be done in the field particularly when it comes to DEIB, but I am hopeful the leadership is available to make that happen. | Consider returning to OAPSA as an Honorary Member! Honary members get all the OAPSA benefits except they can not be elected to office nor vote in OAPSA Business Meetings. See below for more details |
