Take Action- Fully Fund Foundation Aid for Public Schools! #FundOurFutureNY @nysut
Inadequate funding is the primary driver of education inequality in our state. In the coming weeks and months, I (Andy Pallotta) will personally be traveling across the state, touring schools with local members, other NYSUT leaders, and Legislators to draw attention to the impact that inadequate funding has on our schools, our kids, and our communities. Schools in our state are owed more than $3.4 billion in Foundation Aid.
This is the kind of community outreach that will have a long shelf life: giving books to children @firstbook @NYSUT
Here’s a great summary of our work with WTA, Fairport Teachers, BOCES and FirstBook from NYSUT.

DAY OF ACTION: Western New York activists call for resistance to any anti-public education policy
GTA President Jason Cooney
Nearly 100 people representing at least a dozen NYSUT local unions, parents, students, labor leaders, religious leaders, civic leaders and community members huddled together in the cold evening air outside Rochester’s School Without Walls Thursday.
In chants and speeches, and on signs and shields, they called for access to a high-quality public education for every student and stood up against the Trump-DeVos political agenda. They sent a clear message to the new Trump administration that any attempt to privatize, demonize, supplant or divest in public education will be met with resistance.
