Public Education at the Crossroads

Brothers and Sisters,

Take Action Long Island (TALI) seeks to embrace all of our local teacher unions across Long Island.  Each local may have different issues specific to its own district, but a common theme that ties us together relates to problems with an unforgiving tax cap, coupled with significant increases in testing.  Please consider attendance at our May 1 event, "Public Education at the Crossroads."   If interested, please contact your building representative for details and ticket information.
In unity,
RVCTA Cabinet
