Professional Educators Network of Florida

Affordable, top-notch legal protection for educators without the partisan politics

issue

No Social Agendas or Divisive Politics

November 11, 2016 By penfl Leave a Comment

PEN is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse or give money to political campaigns or organizations. PEN promotes teachers NOT agendas. All of your dues money stays in Florida!

PEN believes that teachers are professionals and deserve to be treated as such. PEN is not a labor union. The outdated labor union model is overvalued and overpriced. Teachers are professionals and they deserve to belong to an organization that treats them that way. We want to help make Florida a better place for teachers to teach and students to learn.

“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

“It was a relief to have PEN speak out for me and make sure that my rights were not violated…”

"Due to an injury, my doctor prescribed that I would need to adjust several of my job-related activities. PEN helped me with getting the district to make accommodations so I could keep on working. It was a relief to have PEN speak out for me and make sure that my rights were not violated." - Miami-Dade Educator

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. “
