2019 was a year to remember for all of us!

Author: Andy Pallotta, President

Here's how we were union strong in 2019:


We eliminated the mandate that school districts use state test scores in teacher evaluations.

We put cameras on school buses to keep kids safe.

We passed a bill protecting farmworkers' rights.

We approved 98% of school budget referendums across the state.

And we elected dozens of new NYSUT members to public office.

Together, we made a difference in 2019.

But there's still more work to be done.

Fighting inequality.

Advocating for fair public school funding from pre-k to college across the state.

Standing up for our rights.

Let's make 2020 another year to remember!

In solidarity,

Andy Pallotta,
NYSUT President
