NYSUT is reviewing the details of Gov. Cuomo’s executive budget proposal, but is committed to seeking additional funding for K-12 and public higher education, and to immediately — ahead of the budget process — fix the broken teacher evaluation system. The exec proposal included only half of what K-12 stakeholders, including the union, believe is necessary. Look up your school’s proposed aid runs here.

  • The Legislature is off to a fast start — and we need your help NOW. Next week the Senate will be voting on a bill to make the tax cap permanent. Take action at NYSUT’s Member Action Center to call your senator. Tell them that you NYSUT strongly oppose any legislation that would make the tax cap permanent without key reforms.
  • On a better note, both the Assembly and the Senate passed the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA) and the anti-conversion therapy bill, both of which NYSUT has long advocated. The legislature also is moving union-backed bills to make it easier to vote.
