Why do those with the most needs get the least?
Once again our children and our teachers were ignored by New York State. They have nothing to close the salary gap between public school teachers and our teachers even though our schools are part of the public school system-supplying for the schools cannot.
We WILL NO longer stand for this discriminatory treatment of Our children and educators.
Help us make the change!
