Meet the President for Districts 13–17, 32 and Brooklyn High Schools

UFT members from Districts 13 through 17, 32 and the Brooklyn high schools met on March 21 with UFT President Michael Mulgrew, who gave a short talk about the state of the union and what lies ahead both in the legislative world and in the school system. “It’s been a good last year,” he said, “But we still have work to do.”
