For the Record is where NYSUT members tell their own stories, in their own words and voices.

Every month, we ask for member submissions on a specific topic or theme.

If you are a NYSUT member and have a story to tell, we want to hear it. 

All stories submitted will be stored in NYSUT's member story archive. Our editors will choose select stories to be posted on this site.
