We are happy to share that we are teaming up with our sisters and brothers to the north, the Port Jefferson Teachers Association in creating an advertisement promoting the opt-out movement. The ad will run in the March 31st issue of the The Port Times Record. You can view the ad, as it will appear in The Port Times Record, below.
Yesterday Beth Dimino and I took the Ice Bucket Challenge and pledged a donation to Ride for Life who works to find a cure for ALS. We challenged the PJSTA membership, Dr. Rella, the Comsewogue BOE, the MORE Caucus, and the Port Jefferson Teachers Association. Shortly after issuing the challenge several PJSTA members accepted the challenge and the MORE Caucus is rumored to be planning their challenge.
