Members who receive letters of discontinuance should file an appeal through their borough office. See the hours and locations of UFT borough offices.
Anyone who has been discontinued should ask to copy everything in their personnel file. Teachers are allowed to view their personnel files and make copies of any items. In addition, gather documents that can be used to support your appeal, such as letters of commendation, observation reports, positive emails from parents, unit plans, lesson plans, parent outreach logs and any other materials that demonstrate your effectiveness.
