Dear MASLA Members,

The 2010 summer conference was a great success. We had over 40 attendees for our pre conference and over 80 attendees for our 2 day conference. Those who attended received the latest information on the new Chapter 103 Teacher Evaluation legislation imposed on school districts by the Commissioner and NYSUT. Please reserve October 15 in your calendars for our annual Fall meeting to be held at the OCM BOCES in Syracuse. We will discuss what is happening around the State in negotiations and discuss the latest on Chapter 103. Please go to our Conferences page to review 3 important documents pertaining to Chapter 103. On our Legal Update page we have added the most recent Federal Court decision prohibiting teachers from wearing political buttons in school in anticipation of the upcoming elections in November. Please encourage your colleagues to join MASLA. They can download more information about MASLA and an application form on Membership page.
