The VCTA was presented with NYSUT's 2008 Local Community Service Award at the Annual Representative Assembly on April 11th in New York City. This award recognizes the VCTA's collective and sustained community service during the 2007 calendar year.

The VCTA consists of three bargaining units: teachers, secretaries and paraprofessionals. We are affiliated with the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT), which is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the AFL-CIO. We would like to thank Evan Panagiotopoulos, our local technology wizard, whose generous help made our dynamic form pages possible.
