Save Our Teachers Rally - NYC

A young man was passing out fliers at my son's schools today. Apparently, there is a rally to save teachers from upcoming budget cuts. It's taking place on the steps of City Hall this Sunday at 11am.

Has any one else seen/heard about this?

SAVE OUR TEACHERS!

This Sunday, support the KEEP Act!

“Keep Excellent & Effective Professionals

in the Classroom”

· State budget cuts could cause NYC to lose up to 8,500 teachers

· “Last In, First Out” restrictions mean the most recent teachers hired would be the first to lose their jobs.

· Under those rules, some districts could lose up to 20% of their teachers!

· This bill would ensure that if layoffs are made, the City considers how good a teacher is, not just how long they’ve been teaching.

· Keep our best teachers in the classroom!

Join Senator Ruben Diaz,

Assemblyman Jonathan Bing,

parents & students
