TOMORROW (1/15/20) we kick off the #FundOurFutureNY bus tour to draw attention to the state's failure to fully fund public education. NYSUT activists and allies will be at the Capitol at 11 am; keep an eye out for our coverage! https://t.co/pmSMmgZCCv #FoundationAid @AndyPallotta

[NYSUT @nysut]

New York State schools are owed more than $3.4 billion in Foundation Aid, and students are depending on the state to keep its promise. Our fight for fair funding kicks off January 15. Stay tuned for info on how you can join the effort and spread the word. #FundOurFutureNY

[NYSUT @nysut]

Holly Beckwith Cohen, RCSD student, failure to fund the 86 m in Foundation Aid we are owed. Failing to find our schools, you are telling us that our needs are not being put first. And we hear you! We feel abandoned! @AFTunion @RochesterAssoc1 @RochesterTA #spareourstudents

Rochester teachers, paraprofessionals and parents turn out in force to the NYS capitol to lobby for proper education funding. #spareourstudents

The Board, who represents itself voted, and now we need a new one. A School board entrusted with governing a community's public schools. The role of the school board is to ensure that school districts are responsive to the values, beliefs and priorities of their communities.

[Andy Pallotta @AndyPallotta]

ZERO layoffs and disruptions was the right answer for Rochester. We continue the fight for our students !📣 @nysut @AFTunion @NYSAFLCIO

[Rochester Community for RCSD Change @RochesterFor]

Thank you!!!

My thoughts are with my brothers and sisters from @RochesterTA as their school board lay-off hundreds of staff a few days before Christmas. A disgraceful act that should initiate a change in district leadership immediately. @nysut #StandWithRochester #SpareOurStudents #RTAStrong

“Laying off teachers and paraprofessionals in the middle of the school year is just a disaster... Please, I implore you, do not make these cuts.” - NYSUT President @AndyPallotta at tonight’s board meeting in Rochester. #SpareOurStudents #FundOurFuture

[Rochester Community for RCSD Change @RochesterFor]

Wow! and our School Board in Rochester NY City Schools, make triple that amount for their second jobs.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

In #MN05, the median income of households depending on SNAP benefits is $17,170.

People in my district and across the country need these benefits to put food on the table. I won’t stop fighting in Congress to make sure that no one in our country goes hungry.
