NYSUT President Andy Pallotta reflected on his six-year presidential legacy and spoke on the gratitude he feels to those who walked this journey with him and the purpose for NYSUT moving forward.
With his family in attendance, Andy looked back on his career as an educator, from his days making handmade basketball backboards out of plywood as a physical education teacher to NYSUT officer and all the challenges we have seen and persevered through in the past 14 years.
Andy endorsed NYSUT Executive Director Melinda Person to succeed him as president, saying, “her leadership has been forged in fire and she is ready to meet this moment.”
