Help take the chill out of winter for NYC students in need by making a donation to the UFT Middle School Division's annual coat drive. Monetary donations will go toward the purchase of winter gear for NYC public school students living in temporary housing. https://t.co/kfDREF5bEw

The annual payment would be determined through a formula that compares the highest principal salary and the lowest paraprofessional salary over the past 20 years. The payment would be higher some years due to fluctuations in the formula, but it would never dip below $10,000.
