Today's Assembly Forum

2/23/2015

0 Comments

 
This afternoon, I attended a forum with Westchester Assemblypeople Pretlow, Otis, Galef, Abinanti, Mayer, Buchwald, and Paulin.

Many teachers, board members, parents, school district superintendents and business officials spoke passionately to our representatives about the harm of Governor Cuomo's education policy proposals. The Assembly representatives were attentive, concerned, and understanding.  

Please continue to send emails, make phone calls, and send letters to your representatives to let them know how you feel about the Governor's proposals.

Please join your fellow colleagues on April 7th and April 14th from 4:30-6:30 at the HOPE Community Soup Kitchen in New Rochelle.  HOPE opened the doors of its first soup kitchen in 1984 and now holds the largest soup kitchen and emergency food pantry in the region.  Volunteers are needed to help serve food from 4:30 to 6:30.

Our Advocacy is Working - Keep Up the Advocacy!

Thank you!

Thanks in no small part to your efforts -- and to the efforts of thousands upon thousands of your colleagues across the state -- the New York State Board of Regents has, for now at least, abandoned its plan to take up changes to state regulations that would have mandated stand-alone field tests that have historically been voluntary.

This is great news for our students who are already over burdened with too much testing. But this victory represents even more than that.

This victory demonstrates clearly that, when we stand together, make our voices heard and expose bad policy proposals to the unforgiving glare of truth, we win.

We must remember this moving forward ... the more we speak out the more we put ourselves in position to fight back against Gov. Cuomo and protect and defend New York's outstanding public schools.

Thank you for all your hard work in winning this battle and thank you for moving forward with us as we work to win this war!


In solidarity,

Andrew Pallotta
NYSUT Executive Vice President
