Meet the President: Districts 13, 14, 17 and 23

UFT President Michael Mulgrew didn’t pull his punches in his remarks about Mayor Bloomberg and the Department of Education at a Meet the President event with educators from Brooklyn’s Districts 13, 14, 17 and 23 at the Regal Theater in downtown Brooklyn on May 2. “We’ve been battling the mayor for the last 11.5 years, and the last three-and-a-half have been intense,” Mulgrew said. But, he said, the “corporate model of education” ends when the mayor leaves office on Dec. 31 and the question then will be, “Where do we go?”
