New York State United Teachers Union Opposes Federal Private School Voucher Scheme

The New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) union, along with other state leaders, educators, parents, civil rights organizations, and labor unions, is actively opposing the federal private school voucher program. They are urging Governor Kathy Hochul to protect New York's public schools, citing concerns that the federal rules for the program are worse than anticipated and would undermine the state's control over funding and school qualifications.
