Your Retiree Council Newsletter - Delivery Options

Attention Retirees: The delivery of our newsletters is changing.  In the fall of 2025, you will need to choose a delivery option for your Retiree Council newsletter that best meets your needs.  The newsletter will NOT automatically be delivered to your home.

Your Retiree Council Membership is determined by the School  District you retired from not the School District you live in.  You will need to know your RC when nominating for RC officers/delegates and also when deciding which online newsletter is the correct one for you as a NYSUT Retiree.
