You support teachers and don’t play politics

“The nice thing about the organization is that you support teachers and don’t play politics. Your organization does things by the book and will fight for teachers. In dealing with this county, the organization stuck to their guns and showed support to me, and grinded out victory for me. “

~Patrick Stitz

“I called PEN and within a few hours, I was speaking with an attorney…”

"I never thought I would need PEN’s legal services. I had been teaching for 34 years and been nominated several times as Teacher of the Year. But in my 34th year of my teaching career, one of my ESE student’s parents requested that I let her son take a test as many times as it took for him to pass the test. When I explained to her that I could not do that, she began calling the school and sending emails to DOE telling them things that were not true about what I was doing to her son. I called PEN and within a few hours, I was speaking with an attorney and he listened to my situation and advised me on how to proceed. He stayed in contact with me until the issue was resolved. I am so thankful I filled out that PEN brochure that was in my school mailbox." - Polk County Educator

“It would have been a really scary time if I had not had an attorney advising me…”

"I believed one of my students was being abused by a guardian. I called the PEN representative and she told me that I was obligated to report this to the district. I was interviewed by the district, the DCF and the sheriff’s department. The PEN attorney advised me of the laws, helped me prepare my statement and advised me on the process. It all turned out fine in the end, but it would have been a really scary time if I had not had an attorney advising me." - Palm Beach County Educator
