Dear Safe Schools Coalition members and friends,

NEA Conducting Survey of LGBT Educators

**********************************************************

Do you work in the field of education?
The National Education Association (NEA) invites all public education employees to participate in an important study on workplace issues affecting gay male, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered employees.

Your participation in the study is urged if you:

currently work in the field of public education or have worked in public education within the past 3 years; and
have an interest in human and civil rights issues; and
would like to express your opinion about workplace issues impacted by sexual orientation or gender identification.

Please log onto http://www.abacuspolls.com to participate in the study between May 1 and June 1, 2003. Your response to the survey will be completely anonymous and your contribution will be invaluable. This important information will help the NEA further identify issues related to equal rights and opportunities in the public school workplace.
