Long live the collective bargaining agreement - clearly defining both our rights and responsibilities as unions sisters and brother. #UnionStrong 👍👊🏴‍☠️🦬

Until it's signed on the dotted line, it's just words.

📵No one-to-one devices or student-facing AI for students in Pre-K through Grade 2

This isn't about rejecting technology. It's about putting students first.

It doesn’t get much better than this! Our next generation of unionists are being born in this very moment as we see our work to Fix Tier 6 pay huge dividends! We are STRONG because we are UNITED! @nysut @MelindaJPerson @LockportEducat1 👊🦬 🍻

Teachers, if someone tells you how “lucky” you are to have summers off, remind them they don’t have to be jealous.

America is currently short more than 400,000 teachers.

They can become a teacher too.

[Scott Reddinger @CoachReddinger]

I couldn’t agree more! Let’s revisit the community schools summit again in Albany and really get the stakeholders together again!

[Melinda Person 🍎✌🌈 @MelindaJPerson]

COMMUNITY SCHOOLS! 👏👏

@rweingarten nails it — kids can’t learn unless they feel safe, welcomed and like they belong. They can’t focus on learning when they’re hungry, coping with stress at home or don’t even have a home.

That’s why community schools matter, connecting students and families with the supports and services they need so every child has the chance to thrive.

TIER 6 UPDATE: Thank you for showing up, for giving this your all, for everything you have done. We will keep fighting for you and all public workers that keep our state running. @nysut

[Scott Reddinger @CoachReddinger]

The @LockportEducat1 never stops supporting @MakingStrides 💕 and as a result, it is another beautiful PINK PAYDAY for us here today in the cafe of our alternative high school. UNITED. STRONG. FAITHFUL. 💪✊👊 @nysut @MelindaJPerson

May is Labor History Month!

Throughout our nation's history, NY has led the charge on workers' rights. Just recently, our statewide rally became one of the largest gatherings of unions in decades.

Now NY has the chance to meet this monumental movement and #FixTier6.

[Melinda Person 🍎✌🌈 @MelindaJPerson]

Kids need time to play, move, connect and just be kids. Glad to see @AmerAcadPeds reaffirm what educators have long known: recess isn’t extra — it’s essential to students’ mental health, physical health, social development and academic success.

We cannot test-and-screen-time our way to healthy childhoods. Protecting recess means protecting kids.

Ahead of #NYSUTRA2026, our members gathered at the Hart Theater with the @NYSEDNews for real, honest conversations about the future of public education.

Proud of our members for speaking up and asking the tough questions.

[NYSUT @nysut]

Public schools are the glue of our communities and on May 19th, you have the chance to stick with them! Make sure you get out and vote in support of your school budgets and for pro-public education candidates.  #PublicSchoolsUniteUs

[Melinda Person 🍎✌🌈 @MelindaJPerson]

Public dollars belong in public schools — period.

I am who I am because of these teachers — the ones who believed in me before I believed in myself.

This #TeacherAppreciationWeek, it means everything to stand with the educators who shaped me and thousands at @nysut RA who do that same life-changing work for students every single day.

[Scott Reddinger @CoachReddinger]

Day 1 of the @nysut RA! The @LockportEducat1 is here to help conduct the business of our great statewide organization. Looking forward to the solidarity, discussions and preparations for the year ahead! When we FIGHT…We WIN! 🦬💪✊ @MelindaJPerson @shawnhaley33

[Scott Reddinger @CoachReddinger]

How can schools like ours, that are on the State watchlist and listed as a Comprehensive School in Need of Improvement continue to be held accountable to a failing CBT program that causes further anxiety and chaos? IT FAILED OUR KIDS AGAIN!!🤬@MelindaJPerson @NYSEDNews @WGRZ
