The New York State United Teachers has endorsed Assemblyman Al Stirpe (D-Cicero) in his re-election bid for the 127th Assembly District.<\/p>\n

NYSUT is an organization of more than 600,000 professionals and retirees from New York\u2019s schools, colleges and health care facilities committed to strengthening the teaching profession and providing all kids with a high-quality education.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the parent of three children who attended public schools, I\u2019m forever grateful for the teachers who taught my kids from their youngest years into adulthood,\u201d Stirpe said. \u201cMy children received a quality education and were prepared for the future because of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNYSUT, on the recommendation of the members of the CNY region, is proud to stand with any legislator who stands with us in our fight for the best public schools in the nation,\u201d said Andy Voigt, NYSUT Board of Directors. \u201cAs we continue to push for fairness and equity in school funding, teacher evaluations and student assessment, we are confident that Al will continue to be our champion in Albany.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stirpe remains committed to ensuring that our schools and our teachers have the resources they need to provide a quality education for all kids from pre-K to graduation day. That\u2019s why he worked to secure millions in increased aid for schools across Central New York and a complete repeal of the Gap Elimination Adjustment, which had been shortchanging local schools for many years. Recognizing that teachers shouldn\u2019t be forced to teach to the test, Stirpe has been working to end the tie between performance reviews and test scores, fix the broken Common Core system and eliminate high-stakes testing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll children deserve a quality education,\u201d said Stirpe. \u201cI remain committed to ensuring the state fully funds education and takes steps to ensure fair evaluations of both our children and the professionals who work tirelessly to educate them to be successful adults.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
