Colleagues,
In addition to our lawsuit, and our other efforts to redress the continuing payroll fiasco, we are asking our members who are still adversely affected to sign up to tell their story to the school board at their Board of Education Speakers Forum this Thursday, October 30, beginning at 5:30pm. The school board, the superintendent, and the Rochester community must hear specifically how the festering payroll debacle continues to affect RCSD employees and their families. The Forum will be held at RCSD Central Office (131 W. Broad Street). To sign up to speak, call (585) 262-8525. You can show up to speak in person or indicate, at the time you call to sign up, that you wish to speak remotely by TEAMS.
This Thursday’s Speakers Forum is a collective action on the part of members of RTA, RAP, BENTE and ASAR. And even if you are not currently adversely affected, please show up to support those who are. The RCSD Board of Education no longer allows speakers at their meetings and have, instead, scheduled a separate Speakers Forum as a once-a-month opportunity to address them (see attached flyer). I hope you’ll sign up to speak or show up to support those who will be addressing the school board.
Adam Urbanski, RTA President
