    At last night’s #GoldenGlobes, Paul Giamatti commended teachers in his acceptance speech for Male Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. Shoutouts like these are a great reminder that our members’ work doesn’t go unnoticed!

    The State Education Dept wants to penalize schools with high #OptOut rates - even though federal law gives parents the right to opt their children out of state tests. The public comment period ends soon. Make your voice heard! Learn more and take action: nysut.org/optoutletter

    Teaching assistant Mark Warner has had 3 concussions. A fractured nose. Multiple surgeries on shoulders and elbows. All due to workplace violence. New York State needs stronger safety standards for school districts. supportschoolstaff.org/issues/workpla… #SupportSchoolStaff
