Two unions representing thousands of Fairfax County Public School teachers say their members are overloaded, overworked and burdened by administrative and technology demands in their classrooms. And they want the Fairfax County School Board to do something about it.

"Morale is at an all-time low," said Steven L. Greenburg, president of the Fairfax County Federation of Teachers, who approached the board at its Thursday meeting with Fairfax Education Association President Michael Hairston.

Minutes before the board approved student achievement goals for math, science and technology, Greenburg told the board that a key piece of data — teacher input — was missing from the goals. The goals did not include any current information about the success or downfalls of instruction and curriculum in the classroom, he said.

"[The goals involve] not just the impact on students, but teachers as well," Greenburg said. "We want to deliver the personal attention that students need to succeed."

Greenburg and Hairston told the board they were circulating a School Environment Survey that would be completed by all of its members by the end of the month. Last year, Greenburg said, the school board looked into working conditions.

Early results from the union survey showed "an alarming increase" in the time impact requirements and administration categories, which he attributed in part to increased use of technology, along with testing and data entry.

Earlier in the day, Superintendent Jack Dale announced a 2011-2012 budget that included a proposed 2 percent increase for teachers.
