Yesterday’s annual Storybook Bonanza hosted by YFT at the library was a tremendous success. Over 1,000 books were donated on behalf of YFT’s Public Relations Committee for Pre-K to 6th grade. Thank you to all of our community members who made this event possible.

#ICYMI: we’re working to secure legislation before the end of session to restore accountability and local control in charter school decisions. Earlier this week, we held a press conference to raise awareness on this important issue.

Huge thanks to Dante Morelli, president of the @FASCC_NY, for serving as the MC at today’s Tier 6 rally!
Dante was absolutely amazing — fired up, funny, and laser-focused on why this fight matters for every educator and public employee in New York.
When Dante’s on the mic, you can feel the unity. 👏🔥 #FixTier6 #UnionStrong @nysut

So proud of New York for making sure every student can focus on their education, not their next meal. We love to see it! 💙

This bill is a disaster. It cuts education and healthcare to fund tax cuts for billionaires—adding $3.3 trillion to the deficit. That’s not fiscal responsibility. That’s economic sabotage.
We’re fighting back. Our students and schools deserve better.
In response to the passage of federal reconciliation bill, NYSUT President @MelindaJPerson has released a statement. Our union condemns the 'Big Betrayal' of this federal legislation.

While we take the day to celebrate our independence, we must continue to fight for all those who are struggling or left behind. This is the ongoing work of labor unions, and we remain as committed as ever to our values. @AFTunion @nysut @WestPutAFLCIO @NYSAFLCIO

Happy 4th of July. It is more important than ever to renew our commitment to our nation's principles, including equality, liberty and opportunity for all. Our union will always work to strengthen our public schools and communities to ensure these shared values can be upheld for generations to come.
