Dozens of UFT members from the School Secretaries and the Teachers Assigned chapters attended a Meet the President event at UFT headquarters on April 18.

UFT President Michael Mulgrew had a wide-ranging discussion with high school educators from Brooklyn and the Brooklyn and Staten Island HS district (BASIS) at a gathering at Brooklyn Tech HS on April 16. Among the topics discussed were the upcoming mayoral election, what the future of education should look like in New York City, the fact-finding process to resolve the contract impasse, teacher evaluations and school budgets.

Paperwork, SESIS compliance, testing and more testing — all the things that take time away from instruction — were a prevalent theme at the Meet the President event for members from Districts 27 and 28, held at the UFT’s Queens borough office on Dec. 13.
