Resolution to Solve the ATR Crisis
November 2011
For Next Month’s Agenda
Resolved: The UFT will mobilize all members to rally at Tweed & City Hall at the earliest possible date, to demand:
1. Until Every ATR within a license has a position, no new hiring in that license.
2. ATRs with arcane licenses, or licenses in which there are few positions, be allowed to recertify in new licenses without loss of tenure or seniority. Those who have comparable and valid state licenses should be grandfathered into those state licenses.
3. Audit principals’ hiring for possible race and age discrimination.
4. Restore the contractual right of excessed teachers to the closest vacancy in their license.
