Respect public education. That was the message a dozen local speakers shared to a packed house including Sen. Seward and Assemblyman Lopez on March 12. Public education is a cornerstone of our communities and democracy. Gov. Cuomo's gimmicks disguised as reforms will hurt public schools by taking away local control, under funding, and over testing. We were able to hear how to best support public education from professional educators, parents, and students themselves.
Thank you for another successful VOTE-COPE drive! During the 2013-14 school year we collected $2333 from 46 members for VOTE-COPE. That is an increase of almost $100 over last year. Congratulations! This year we are stepping it up to over $2700 just in payroll deduction. $3000 here we come.
Education is under attack. Colleen Sheehan presented an information session to 45 C-RTA members about the politically motivated attack on the due process rights of educators. She reminded us that:
NYS has some of the most rigorous teaching standards
NYS has the most credentialed, most effective teachers in the nation
due process protects good teachers from attack
