Dear colleagues,

We are all aware our MPTA members are some of the finest educators in Westchester. Each day our members bring challenging and motivating learning opportunities to our students. We want to hear about it!

Tell on yourself! Tell on a colleague! Brag about those exceptional lessons! Boast about the special happening in your school. Talk about the grants you have won. Spread the word about the classes that have enhanced your instruction. Tell us about the helping hands our members offer in the Mt. Pleasant community and in their own communities.

Affordable Care Act

President Bill Calathes would like you to see the following correspondence provided by CNJSCL President Tim Haresign regarding current AFT policy on the Affordable Care Act. As you can see, much needs to be worked out specifically regarding our understanding and implementation of this very important piece of legislation. Rest assured, that this work will be carried out thoroughly. Tim Haresign stated:

“The issue of how adjunct work hours will be calculated for this remains unresolved. I'm not sure at this point if we have agreement among ourselves as to how we would like to see the hours calculated. We will need to decide this first and then develop a strategy (hopefully working with NJAFT) to get our preferred rules implemented.“
