"We welcome the extension of the moratorium and thank Chancellor Betty Rosa and the Regents for continuing to recognize that the state’s over-emphasis on standardized testing has worked for neither students nor teachers. While we welcome the moratorium extension, NYSUT will continue to seek a long-term legislative solution that will return evaluations to local control. Teachers and local school districts know what works best in their own communities."

Last night, PFA President Carolyn Richards, Corresponding Secretary Lisa Yavornitzki Mangino and past PFA President Tom Byers did some last minute phone banking for NYSUT endorsed candidates. Remember to go out and VOTE today! The IRS has just announced contribution limit increases for several plans for calendar year 2019. Please plan accordingly and increase the amount that you save if you can. Even though we get a pension from New York State, NYSTRS suggest that the pension is only one leg of the three legged stool which represents retirement. Personal savings and social security are the other legs.
Read about about the changes here: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/401k-contribution-limit-increases-to-19000-for-2019-ira-limit-increases-to-6000 Please join us for an exciting night of Buffalo Sabres Hockey on any of the following dates.
These outings are open to all NYSUT members, family, and friends. Discount Tickets are $20 for 300 level II and $62 for 100 level II.
