Friends, I have an update I would like to share with you all.
Last week, I had major surgery to remove a large tumour on my kidney. The doctors believe the operation was a success and I am now at home recovering.

This is just the beginning of the Minns Labor Government’s mission to reduce workload and lift the status of the teaching profession.
We’ve made good on our promise to reduce admin hours so teachers can have space back in their day to enjoy more time with their students.
Teachers are best when they're actually teaching our kids, not when they're filling out forms.
Right now, they're being forced to swim in a bureaucratic sea of paperwork.
Our schools are only as good as the teachers in them and the time they spend with kids.

Simple as that.
