Memo To: All Buffalo Teachers
From: Philip Rumore, President, BTF
Date: June 22, 2023
Subject: Solidarity Day Reminder
As always, tomorrow, June 23, 2023, we will join together to demonstrate our indomitable solidarity and support for each other and our students by wearing something displaying our BTF logo.
In doing so, let us also demonstrate our support for Rich Nigro, our newly elected President, Melinda MacPherson-Sullivan, BTF Vice President, Mark Mecca, BTF Secretary and the newly elected members of the BTF Executive Committee.
With your continued solidarity and support, all obstacles and challenges will continue to be overcome and become victories.
Let there be no doubt.
Once again, I thank you for your support, caring and well wishes.
You are and will always be, my family.
- Phil
REMEMBER: WHEN SOMEONE ASKS YOU HOW YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR “SUMMER VACATION”, REMIND THEM THAT THE CHILDREN ARE ON “SUMMER VACATION” - TEACHERS ARE LAID OFF. NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE KNOW IT IS NOT A PAID VACATION FOR TEACHERS IN THE SUMMER, BUT RATHER TWO MONTHS WITHOUT PAY. LET US CONTINUE USING THE TERM SUMMER “LAY-OFF” AND MAYBE THEY WILL GET THE MESSAGE.
