Dear Brothers & Sisters:
I am writing this letter as the President of the Orange County Teachers’ Association (OCTA) and the local presidents listed below join me in endorsing Michael Lillis for President, Bianca Tanis for Executive Vice President, Megan DeLaRosa for 1st Vice President and Nate Hathaway for Secretary-Treasurer of NYSUT. As teachers and unionists, we all know a few things about what young people need to learn–excellent teachers, involved families, stable housing, rest, good nutrition, safe neighborhoods, economically integrated schools, special education, socioemotional supports, mental health services and high quality testing are all key. I want to thank Michael Lillis, Bianca Tanis, Megan DeLaRosa and Nate Hathaway for being tireless advocates for our young people, our teachers and our schools. Just as they have advocated for an array of policies that address improving our students’ educations, they will work toward building an environment at NYSUT that will allow the officers to position themselves as change agents for our members. When you find a group of people that encourage and inspire you, big changes are inevitable. The contributions of this ST Caucus slate of officers will have a huge impact on what we want to accomplish for our members. NYSUT will gain momentum under their leadership. Rank and file members will be encouraged to be involved in the democratic process. With transparency and accountability, this slate will lead NYSUT to be a true and stronger union.
Thank You!
In Solidarity,
Laura Beck, President of OCTA and Orange Ulster BOCES TA
Ezra Clementson, President of Minisink Valley Central School District Teachers’ Association
Rich Steger, President of Valley Central Teachers’ Association
Regis Foster, President of Port Jervis City School District Teachers’ Association
Carlos Barquero, President of Warwick Valley Central School District Teachers’ Association
Frank Gannon, President of Florida Union Free School District Teachers’ Association
Patrick Ryan, President of Washingtonville Central School District Teachers’ Association
Chris Passudetti, President of Pine Bush Central School District Teachers’ Association
