Happy Last Day of School, PJSTA!

The buses have pulled away, the classrooms are packed up, and a well-deserved break is officially here.

This school year our union has risen to the challenge, and true to form, our members stepped up with unmatched dedication, professionalism, and heart. Whether you are a teacher, teaching assistant, or professional staff member, your hard work has made a profound difference in the lives of our students and our community. Thank you for everything you do.

As part of the governor’s 2025-26 executive budget, Hochul is proposing $13.5 million for school districts to implement bell-to-bell restrictions on student cellphones and other smart devices, with approved exceptions that include management of a student’s healthcare, emergency events, and translation services. Each school district would be required to adopt a written policy that includes methods for on-site storage where students can keep their devices during the school day.
