Dear Members,

On behalf of the BOCES Teachers' Association, I want to thank all of you who took immediate action! You demonstrated courage through your willingness to make your voices heard. By speaking up you took a stand for your colleagues, students, and communities. Working together and speaking with one unified voice we were able to make an impact. I also want to take a moment to thank administration for recognizing our concerns and acting upon them. In this difficult time, I ask that you continue to be patient and kind, support one another and lend a hand when possible. Dear BTA Members,
