@RobRoszkowski Hello. I was able to speak to the person you mentioned in your email and resolved the problem. I also answered your email. Thank you for reaching out.
Hi Jamie, you should hear from us today, and you should also hear from DOE. They have said that anyone who applied will hear by today. Sorry you didn’t hear from us yesterday. Very much inundated, and trying to be thorough with each case.
It's truly sad how the @HouseGOP jumped to give trillions in tax breaks to the very richest, but now balks at sending desperately needed help to working Americans and local governments during an international crisis. #HeroesAct
We’re facing a recession worse than the Great Recession.
36 million Americans have lost their jobs.
States simply cannot recover from this alone.
Congress must pass the #HeroesAct and provide states and cities the relief they need.
Mulgrew: the #HeroesAct is aptly named for the people it would help, including teachers, nurses, police and fire, all on the front lines of this crisis. #UFTtownhall
@Jd2718x@UFT@UFTTeamHS@NYGovCuomo Losing spring break sucks. And we’ll see what happens as we now negotiate the terms with DOE. Gov did this with the stroke of his pen. You said we caved. That’s a lie.
@Jd2718x@UFT@UFTTeamHS@NYGovCuomo To suggest that any negotiation has happened before now is disingenuous. But why stop when you have a political opportunity?
1. It’s the right thing to do to stop the spread. 2. When the massive, debilitating, inevitable budget cuts come, who will we be? Those that refused to serve? Or those who answered the call? We’ll keep the receipts. @UFT
@CinDee11234@UFT We don’t know the implications for pay yet. The governor just did this yesterday. Nurses, cops, other city workers don’t have a spring break, so I’m not sure the comparison holds.
@hispeed_gordo Do you mean [email protected]? That was set up for ppl who wanted to work from home prior to schools being closed. The days should be entered as medically certified by your payroll secretary. Reach out next week and I will be able to confirm if they were.
The coronavirus outbreak in NYC gave teachers only 72 hours to write new curriculum, create accessible materials, prepare for remote learning, communicate with students & families, distribute technology, AND set up online classrooms filled with digital resources. BUT WE DID IT 🙌🏼
