Former Assistant Principal Patricia Gil has been inspired all her life by Mark Twain’s saying, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.” She has lived by those words from the moment she joined the U.S. Army Reserve as a college freshman to her current role as an assistant field director and member of the Veterans Council at the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators (CSA), AFSA Local 1, New York City.
Major Education organizations have urged federal leaders to immediately release reserve funds and use any other available flexibilities without reducing support for other nutrition programs.
AFSA has joined other labor unions in urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to ensure that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits continue without interruption.
Our association remains steadfast in our belief that public education and our nation’s educator workforce must be strengthened with the support of adequate funding.
