Special election results
We have completed the vote count in the Paraprofessionals Chapter’s special election. The following candidates were declared elected for the balance of the term ending June 30, 2027:
- First Vice Chairperson: John Kamps
- Second Vice Chairperson: Undrea Polite
- Executive Board Member-At-Large: Betty Checo and Renee Freeman
The UFT Paraprofessionals Chapter held a special election this spring for the following positions: First Vice Chairperson, Second Vice Chairperson and two Executive Board at‑large positions. The newly elected officers will finish the term ending June 30, 2027. See the Election Notice »
Two of the three races were uncontested, so members voted only for candidates to fill the First Vice Chairperson role. All previously elected paraprofessional officers and Executive Board at-large members continue to serve.
