UFT President Mulgrew warned of 4,000-5,000 para vacancies in September. “Every time the city cannot fill a para position, a child with special needs does not get services,” he said as he called on @SpeakerAJones and her staff to move the RESPECT check bill to a hearing.

The @UFT mourns the passing of Dr. Hazel Dukes - a fierce advocate and force for good.
