We have now gotten a US Made and Union shop to sell us BAT shirts in all designs at a low cost.
Bumper stickers are coming soon and we hope to add more shirt types (tank, polo) if there is interest in the t-shirts!
Governor Martinez and the Secretary of Education, Hanna Skandera are promoting online schools in New Mexico. It is felt among teachers that Skandera, who observed a kindergarten class for one week with no other teaching credentials, was appointed as the Secretary of Education to influence parents to choose online education. What do you think we can do about this? Is this something BAT should focus on?
