The DOE announced that the clerical day on June 5 will be remote. This affects 3k, pre-K, elementary schools, middle schools, K-12 schools and District 75. Staff will work remotely on this day and students are not in attendance. The decision was made after encouragement from the UFT to make it a remote workday.

Every year local unions from all across the state representing public school educators come together for the Representative Assembly. At this yearly assembly resolutions are presented by the various locals, debated and are either passed or defeated.

The elected delegation from District 21 traveled to Albany after work on Thursday and arrived home late Saturday afternoon/early evening after giving of their time on behalf of members throughout the district.

For most in this picture it was their first RA.

Pictured with the D21 Delegation is UFT Secretary, Mike Sill; VP of Elementary Schools, Karen Alford; VP of Middle Schools, Rich Mantell and UFT Treasurer, Victoria Lee.

I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge that former PS 100 Chapter Leader Joan Davis, who passed away last spring, was elected to serve as a RA Delegate.
