What We're Calling For in New York State
Sign the letter. Tell the Board of Regents and Commissioner King why you're wearing blue on Dec. 9. Tell them to commit to New Year's resolutions for 2014 to help us reclaim the promise of public education.
What's at Stake?
Students, parents and educators are reeling from sea changes that threaten the promise of public education. In New York State, those include chronic underfunding of public schools and higher education, an undemocratic tax cap, lack of access to affordable higher education, an obsession with testing, lack of support for teaching and learning, insufficient staffing and layoffs.
Throughout the day on Dec. 9, NYSUT - in partnership with AQE, Citizen Action and other allies in locations across the state - will highlight our solutions for great public schools and colleges.
NYSUT and community leaders also will meet with their respective Regents and urge them to accelerate support to our schools and make the course corrections that are needed to get it right.
On Dec. 9, we will create a sea of blue across New York because we want change that supports teaching and learning in our public schools and colleges.
