A teacher strike in San Francisco is underway, and in a historic show of unity, the United Administrators of San Francisco (UASF), AFSA Local 3, is striking in solidarity with teachers.
The convention also marked the end of service for two longtime national officers. AFSA President Leonard P. Pugliese and Executive Vice President Lauran Waters-Cherry stepped down after years of steadfast leadership.
Delegates took decisive action to protect federal support for schools, demand greater investment in school leadership and reaffirmed AFSA's commitment to putting students first.
“Party does not matter when we’re talking about education. We grow Democrats, we grow Republicans, we grow Independents — but most importantly, we’re growing critical thinkers with empathy and voice.
True power lies in lifting others up and growing the movement. Hold your arms open, and you create an army of leaders who will carry this work forward.
