March 2010
Faculty and Staff –
Here we go again...for the second consecutive year, the Teacher Center budget has been completely eliminated by Governor Paterson. The only reason why Teacher Centers are offering services this school year is because of the lobby efforts of NYSUT’s leadership and members along with Federal funding from ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act).
So, here is how you can help: 2. Click on Contact your Elected Officials to FAX your US Legislator 3. Check the box that says: Support the Education Jobs Fund and Extend FMAP. 4. Go back to Legislative Action Page and click FAX your NY State Legislator 5. Click on the following boxes: Restore K-12 Proposed Budget Cuts Restore Funding to Teacher Centers
Then, just follow the directions on the right and you can automatically FAX all elected officials, including the Governor. (I literally just sent my faxes...it took 3 minutes! Thanks in advance!!)
Your participation is critically important to restore funding for all school districts and programs.

A few new things to consider:
Looking to Convert YouTube clips to DVD?? The Teacher Center can help!
 1. You can email the YouTube URL address - and we'll do it and we'll send it back to you.
2. You can email the YouTube URL addresses - and we can burn it down to DVD so you don't have to worry about the availability of the clip next time or the Internet not working properly.
3. The Teacher Center has a "Filter-Free" Zone. Please call or email Carol Montanari or Paul Szymendrea in the TC for help. |

If you would prefer to have items cut on special paper, just send it over with your form. We do have a limited supply of various colors, but if you have a special request or a “grade-level” project, we would appreciate you sending paper.
I hope that by now you have seen the updated posters Carol made to show off our new cut-outs!
