Reclaiming the Promise of Fairness

            Some of the worst bullies in our school system wear suits and work in offices. But fortunately, help is on the way. Two of our incoming school board members have experienced this problem themselves and it’s one of the reasons why they got themselves elected. Now we can take your complaints and pass them on to someone who will take them seriously.

FOOD DRIVE

In conjunction with the the United Labor Agency (ULA), A&R is coordinating a food drive and to make a donation to Foodshare.  Foodshare's mission is to end hunger as a part of the overall community effort to alleviate poverty in the greater Hartford area.

I want to wish each and every one of you a warm and peaceful holiday season and a new year. 2016 promises to be indeed a new year, as Governor-elect John Bel Edwards takes office after eight long and difficult years for higher education. The UFCT and the LFT will be there to support and serve our new governor--and to voice your interests and concerns in the coming year.

All my best,

Robert Lawyer,
President, United Federation of Local Teachers, 1130
