Update: "We’ve seen significant community feedback about some of the candidates on this list, and we want to be clear: sharing NYSUT’s endorsed candidate list is something we do for every school board election as a resource. It is not an MCDC endorsement of any individual on it.
We encourage every Monroe County resident to go vote today, make your voice heard, and support the candidates you believe will best serve your children and your community."
Polls are open across Monroe County for school board and budget elections — and every vote makes a difference.
We’re happy to share the list of NYSUT-endorsed candidates who are committed to strengthening our public schools, supporting educators, and standing up for students.
