It’s that time of year again for statewide school budget votes and board elections in most districts on May 16. NYSUT has a tremendous track record of success because our members stand up, speak out and vote to show they support the best interests of students. This year is no different. Pledge to vote YES for pro-student, pro-educator candidates who will help unite us, and YES for a school budget that will keep our public schools strong, well-staffed and the center of our communities. Be sure to follow NYSUT on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to stay updated on all the action.
