Yonkers Insider: New York State Assemblymember MaryJane Shimsky 92nd District: Teacher Appreciation Week.

 

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you to the outstanding teachers in New York State, who educate our children, cultivate our workforce, expand our horizons, and enrich our lives. In the 2024-25 budget, we made reforms to Tier 6 in the State pension system that bring public employees hired as of April 2012 closer to parity with their more senior peers. It is imperative that New York provide its employees with comparable benefits, if we are to recruit and retain a robust workforce.
