The 44th annual SRP Leadership Conference, under the theme “SRPs Rising: Investing in our Future,” will be held Nov. 4–6 at the Albany Hilton.

NYSUT Second Vice President Ron Gross, whose office coordinates SRP concerns, encouraged local leaders to send a full team to the conference.

“Our SRPs are the heartbeat of our districts and are instrumental in keeping things up and running,” said Gross. “This conference has workshops geared to many different titles. We urge locals to take advantage of this awesome professional development opportunity.”

Sessions at the conference include:

  • Kitchen safety: It’s on the menu

SRPs Rock!

Start planning now to celebrate New York State SRP Recognition Day, Nov. 15.

NYSUT honors the superheroes of our schools throughout the year, but especially in November.

Hard-working SRPs help educate, feed and transport students, monitor their health, administer school offices and maintain school facilities — providing a safe and nurturing environment for student-centered learning.
