Please use the attached spreadsheet to sign up. The complete list of dates is below. If you have any questions, please contact me at BMUSTsecretary@bmust.net or the Union Office at 992-1068. Thank you! Meg Hirsch 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm · March 11 · March 25 · April 7 (Tuesday) · April 22 · May 6 (AP testing) · May 20 · June 3 · June 17 (Regents testing) Dear BMUST Members, This week, BMUST will begin a letter-writing campaign to push Albany to fully fund Foundation Aid for our school. BMCHSD is owed more than $8 million in state aid, so we're sending letters to Governor Cuomo, Senator John Brooks, and Assemblyman David McDonough, who represent the Bellmore-Merrick area. (Here's more information on NYSUT's position on Foundation Aid.) Your head building reps and political action committee members will set up a location in your building where you can sign the letters (see attached sample). You don't need to mail the letters--BMUST will take care of that. All you need to do is sign the 3 letters and place them in their respective envelopes. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at JFKHS or speak to your head building rep. Thank you! Sincerely, Dennis Urban BMUST Political Action Committee

Colleagues,
I hope this email finds you well. The Board of Regents and the New York State Education Department have announced a series of regional meetings to discuss New York State graduation requirements, their appropriateness and what, if any, modifications need to be made to those requirements. Below you will find the information that I have received. Here is a link to the information on the NYSED website: http://www.nysed.gov/grad-measures/regional-meetings If this is an issue that interests you, I encourage you to try to attend one of the two sessions held on Long Island (Wednesday, 3/4, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm in Holtsville and Friday, 3/27, 8:30 am -11:30 am, in Wheatley Heights). Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. In Solidarity, Rob The Community Cupboard is need of volunteers for their packing days!
