Last week's TALI event, "Public Education at the Crossroads 2.0" was well attended by about 100 Long Island Union leaders and PTA presidents. I had the pleasure of attending the event with four of our Herricks PTA presidents. Presenters focused on the topics of the Tax Cap, high stakes testing and their affects on public education. The informative and spirited discussion provided participants with much insight into the current changes that are affecting public education as well as suggestions on how we can work together to help our students and communities.
Below is the list of this week's events which will have HTA representation by some or all of us.
Best,
