Delegates at the 2025 NYSUT Representative Assembly in Rochester received a photo book highlighting NYSUT’s past year, including several of the union’s wins and initiatives. The book highlighted the union’s vision to support schools where students and educators thrive, to ensure members’ professions are enticing and sustainable career choices, and building the power of the union.
Since the previous RA, NYSUT has defended school districts across the state from proposed budget cuts, addressed extreme temperatures in our classrooms, addressed the impact of cellphones and social media, promoted Career and Technical Education programs and pushed for a New Deal for Higher Education. Along with these initiatives, NYSUT has continued working to Fix Tier 6, passed major fixes to APPR, and connected with members through the Educator Inspired and Know Your Rights series.
Finally, NYSUT has continued the work of building the union with the Common Ground Over Chaos bus tour, finding areas to work together for all working families, by winning school budget and school board victories across the state, coming together with a coalition of unions to save SUNY Downstate, and organizing multiple new locals and members across the state to grow our numbers and provide our voice in new areas.
