CTA's Year in Review A M I D S O M E O F the most difficult challenges educators have ever faced, CTA continues to lead the fight for the resources all students need, the schools they deserve, and the safe and healthy teaching and learning conditions our school communities require. Much of this is showcased in CTA's new Annual Report (cta.org/cta-year-in-review-2019-2020). From winning accountability and transparency for charter schools, to fighting for racial and social justice, to supporting and championing educators in myriad ways, CTA is unstoppable — thanks to you.
