NYSUT President Melinda Person releases statement on SUNY approval of Brentwood and Central Islip charter schools

Thank you to @NYSComptroller Tom DiNapoli for creating such a warm, affirming space to celebrate Pride and honor those working to uplift LGBTQ+ communities. It was an honor to stand alongside @CMErikBottcher, Carol Bullock, Dr. @wilhelminaperr8 @middlechurch—proud to be there on

👏Congratulations to North HS graduate and SCTA Trade and Vocational School Scholarship winner, Olivia Short! Olivia studied Physical Therapy Aide at Bixhorn Technical Center, gaining hands-on experience with patients and earning multiple certifications! Good luck next year! 🎉

😁after spending the day @Rockville Centre+Lynbrook for school visits to see evidenced based reading practices in action in both K+1st Grade classrooms. Special thanks to @nysut Local Presidents Lesli Dennino+Craig Kirchenberg for the invitation+warm welcome into their districts.

3 new LI charter schools proposed https://t.co/HXedmMy0OH Sheree Sibilly, a mother of two Brentwood middle school students and president of the district’s special education PTA, said she’s concerned about the district losing money to charter schools and what that could mean for

This morning I marched in the Albany Pride Parade—and I’m proud to see @nysut members showing up for Pride all across the state, from Brentwood and beyond. We stand united for love, dignity, and inclusive public schools for every student and educator. 🏳️‍🌈

Thank you to AMs @JacobsonNY104 @EachusAD99 and Senator @JamesSkoufis for joining us in this fight — rain or shine we know you have our backs! 💪 #FixTier6

You tell ‘em, @EachusAD99 💥 It’s been over a decade since Tier 6 became part of the state pension system. Since then, over 100,000 NYSUT members earn a significantly reduced pension as compared to earlier tiers. It’s time to change that and #FixTier6!

It's June 6 and our members know what that means: it's time to rally to #FixTier6! Today, rallies in Elmira and Mid-Hudson kick off at 4:30 and 5 p.m., respectively. Learn more and join the fight: https://t.co/LHTL5gsPbi

🚨 Educators and public workers deserve transparency and protection when it comes to AI. We need real guardrails in place—because no algorithm should replace human expertise in our schools. https://t.co/lXq3vC7wp8

🎯 It's time charter schools play by the same rules as public schools—equal standards, full transparency, and real accountability. Let's close the loopholes and protect our students and public dollars. https://t.co/4BkWveEJBD

STOP the expansion of Charters! NO ACCOUNTABILITY, NO OVERSIGHT, TAXATION W/OUT REPRESENTATION OUR VOICE, OUR SCHOOLS @nysut @NYSUTSRO @Nysutnro @MelindaJPerson

🚨 Stand Up for Our Public Schools! 🚨 Another charter school is trying to take vital funding away from our public schools — money that should be supporting our students, our classrooms, and our communities. Join us TODAY in Brentwood to say NO! @nysut @AFTunion

With no accountability or transparency, Long Island’s corporate charter schools have drained $362M from public schools in just 3 years. We don’t need another. Thank you to families in Brentwood for coming out to tonight’s public hearing in support for our public schools.

Time to hold corporate charters accountable. Tell your legislator to support S.7462 (Hoylman-Sigal)/A.6884 (Benedetto) to require corporate charters to follow the same enrollment, disciplinary and fiduciary requirements as neighborhood public schools.

On Sunday, I had the chance to visit the @BucketBuoy lifeguards of Jones Beach and hear how they do rescue. Thank you for keeping our beaches and beach goers safe! @nysut

I’m wearing RED and seeing RED about the planned charter school in Brentwood! Will you please lend your voice and join me at tonight’s public hearing? #takingourmoney  #LongIslandAgainstcharterschools @chateacher27 @4BHAF @NYSUTSRO

Visited the incredible @nysut members of the Jones Beach @BucketBuoy — trained, focused, and ready to protect. With new jet skis and drones to monitor sharks and assist in rescues, they’re keeping our beaches safe. Grateful for their service and union strength! 🛟🏖️
