It is a violation of New York State's Taylor Law and puts all our jobs at risk when the district hires individuals outside of our bargaining units whose work belongs inside our units. If you see someone in our building doing work that resembles what you and your colleagues do, let me know right away.

Be on the alert for violations of our contract. Let David Katz or your school liaison know if you experience something that does not seem quite right. Don't assume we already know about it.
 Don't forget...
Civil Service Law allows all employees of school districts (and other public entities) in New York State up to 4 hours of paid leave time each year to be screened for breast or prostate cancer. This time cannot be charged against your sick, personal, vacation, or flex time. Get Some BTA Stuff!

Union Representation Means...The terms and conditions of our employment were negotiated between the Bronxville Teachers' Association and the school district.
No administrator may unilaterally change these negotiated agreements; and no teacher can agree to exceptions to these agreements. If an administrator asks you to do something that is contrary to our contract language (or if you suspect it might be), let David Katz or your school liaison know, so the BTA can engage in negotiations with the district about these potential exceptions to contract language. Here's a reminder:
Civil Service Law §159-b (as of July 2008) allows all employees of school districts (and other public entities) in New York State up to 4 hours of paid leave time each year to be screened for breast or prostate cancer. This time cannot be charged against your sick time or personal time.  If you are changing your name or your address, be sure to let Barbara Vitaliano know. Also, change your address with NYSTRS or NYSERS.
