This school year, we will see meaningful improvements in our working conditions — and our students’ learning conditions — as a result of fights we undertook as a union for the changes we need. This September, 60% of classrooms citywide will be under the new limits in the state class size law, up from 46% last school year. The school-based application process for class size funding — driven by the hard work of our chapter leaders — is what enabled us to meet this year’s target in the law.
