February was a powerful month 💪 We testified in Albany fighting for the funding our public schools and colleges deserve, visited the incredible educators and students doing amazing things in Brighton and Sweet Home, and came together at our @nysut Legislative Reception.

Honored to be with BOCES leaders relaunching the Leadership Conference—celebrating the educators and staff powering Special Ed, CTE, and shared services statewide. Your advocacy secured historic BOCES aid, expanding opportunity and opening doors for students. The future is being built here.

Today we toured the MVP Arena, walked the floor, and pictured it packed with 14,000+ union members. It’s going to be loud, powerful, and full of energy. Can’t wait to see you on March 8th. We won’t quit until we #FIXTIER6! @NYSAFLCIO @nysut

So blessed to be representing NYSUT with this amazing team. We are keeping the band together and hope you will continue to support us as we run for another term. We can't wait to see where our journey takes us next.@JCiffone @MelindaJPerson @nysut @NYSUTStreasurer

We can’t spill the tea yet ☕️ But to the teachers watching the game, grading papers during commercials… this surprise guest on 3/8 is for you. Stay tuned 👀🍎

Second stop of the day (and 261 miles down the road), @NYSUT’s Subject Area Committee and Policy Council meeting in Albany. Thank you to our members, led by Exec VP @JCiffone, for their insights from the field and focus on their students’ future.
