Priscilla Castro, UFT Paraprofessional Chapter Chair, breaks down the importance of passing Intro. 1261 – AKA the “RESPECT check” – to give our paras $10k more each year. Paras are ESSENTIAL to NYC schools. We know @zohrankmamdani is in this fight with us! #ParaRESPECT

UFT President Mulgrew warned of 4,000-5,000 para vacancies in September. “Every time the city cannot fill a para position, a child with special needs does not get services,” he said as he called on @SpeakerAJones and her staff to move the RESPECT check bill to a hearing.

UFT members are heading up to Albany next week to lobby to #FixTier6. It's on.
We asked and you told us what #FixTier6 means to you! Each month, we’re holding rallies to help change our system and get educators the fair pensions they deserve. Today we're in Schenectady and at Westchester Community College! Join the fight: https://t.co/LHTL5gsPbi
