Political Action Update

2/3/2025

Dear Colleagues,

I hope your second semester is off to a good start. Here are a few political action updates to help you stay involved in the fight to protect and improve public education.

1. NYSUT released its list of legislative priorities for 2025, which include school funding improvements, distraction-free classrooms, and more fixes to Tier 6. Next month, we'll lobby state legislators at the Committee of 100 event in Albany.

2. Governor Hochul released her executive budget. Every district's proposed funding for the 2025-26 state budget is here.

3. Pre-college Instructors at the Manhattan School of Music, who have been working under an expired contract for almost 5 months, are currently on strike.

4. BMUST will continue to engage in campaigns to pass the school budget and elect board candidates who support public education. Stay tuned for ways you can get involved in the coming months.

5. Stay updated with NYSUT's political action alerts by signing up for Member Action Center (MAC) texts here.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Dennis
