At this meeting for paraprofessional representatives, we'll discuss important issues and updates for paraprofessionals. Last month, we didn’t get the chance to hear from our scheduled presenter, Luis Echevarria, New York City Department of Education director of scholarships, incentives and speech programs, so we’ve invited him back for another opportunity to give a presentation on the Career Training Program (CTP).

Brooklyn SRPs are invited to register for a special celebration honoring the work that they do for their schools and students. 

Members working in Brooklyn high schools and District 75 schools are invited to attend an information session to learn about supplemental health benefits. 

Manhattan paraprofessionals are invited to a workshop about their defined-benefit pension. Learn about the Teacher's Retirement System (TRS) and find out what you need to plan a financially secure retirement. 

UFT members around the city participated in a Day of Action to show solidarity with paraprofessionals. The action was timed to coincide with the City Council’s public hearing for the “RESPECT check” bill, which would provide annual checks of at least $10,000 to paraprofessionals.
