Brothers and Sisters,
Welcome back to a brand new school year!
In so many ways, this is the best time of the year, full of promise and great expectations. Students are excited, and a little nervous, about all the things they will learn and do this year. We all play roles — teachers and school-related professionals in classrooms, transportation, food service, maintenance, security, administrative support and health care — in helping them succeed!
A new beginning also raises again all the challenges we face every year, in and out of school. Know that NYSUT is here to support you and your local union. From your buildings to the bargaining table and from district offices to the state house, NYSUT has your back. Your statewide union supports local organizing, political action, professional development and more. Learn more at www.nysut.org/ourunion.
We are proud to do everything needed to support you and your goals.
In solidarity,
