Rumor Control
During these uncertain times, there are increasingly frequent and inaccurate rumors spread especially through FB and other social media. Such misinformation, often promulgated by uninformed sources, is unhelpful and causes unnecessary alarm and confusion. It is the responsibility of your duly-elected union to keep you informed and we are doing our best to do so – through our website <www.rochesterteachers.com>, through regular email updates and through your RTA Faculty Representatives.
