Hearing Boards Ad No.18152 said Brian Peterson, a local education observer. Teacher Marta Laura Zayas said that Aronowitz has fared well with a diffi- cult task but had room for improvement. "She's a strong leader, however in the area of pub- lic relations and particularly ddre . g th Hi p membership, she may have found better ways to reach out to them," Zayas said. Aronowitz highlighted several accomplishments, such as a successful political network. "I'm most proud of turning our members into activists and f ding force- ful, new leadership," she said. LET THE GAMES BEGIN Her decision to step down, which she said she made along time ago, leaves the union's top job wide open. Nominations for candi- dates are due Dec 7 and at least two current leaders plan to compete for presi- dent: Secretary -Treasurer, Fedrick Ingram and First Vice President Artie Leichner. Teacher Eugenio "Geno" Perez, who ran against Aronowitz in 2010 and has challenged those elections, is also mulling a 11111 Aronowitz has endorsed Ingram, who grew up in lib- erty City and Overtown, was named Miami -Dade teacher of the year in 2006 and has served on her team Ingram said he wants to ad- vocate for teachers and build stronger ties to the community.

More re- cent frustration has stemmed from teachers who feel the union should fight harder for them A new contract gave instructors the first raises in several years and lifted the starting salary. But thousands of mid -career teachers saw an- nual increases of about $300. Last week teachers were angry to learn that the Mi- ami -Dade School Board lift- ed salary caps for district administrators by 10 percent to 30 percent. INTERNAL BLEEDING The union is also strug- gling internally, with some employees who oppose Aronowitz's leadership holding"Occupy"style pro- tests outside UTD head- quarters. Some have won legal challenges against the on- line voting process. David Kirsner, a union steward at Coral Gables Se- nior High who supports Leichner, said, "You might say that ifs a very splintered union at this stage in the
