The Retired Teachers Chapter’s general membership meeting on Dec. 4 in Shanker Hall, Manhattan, included some interesting speakers: Max Rose, the newly elected congressman representing Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn, and Barry Kaufman, the president of the New York State Alliance of Retired Americans. Rose, fresh from a visit to the PS 25 annex on Staten Island, where he looked into teachers’ claims of mold in some classrooms, assured the retirees that he would fight for the causes dear to them. Kaufman spoke about issues NYSARA would be fighting for.
