Allow Schools to Opt Out of the Triborough Amendment

Allow School Districts to opt out of the Triborough Amendment.

Why is this important?

New Yorkers pay the highest cost per student for education in the Country and each year education continues to gets more expensive. The key driver of this out of control spending is the Triborough Amendment. It allows employee contracts to remain in effect until a new contract is negotiated giving unions little incentive to negotiate. School Districts should be allowed to opt out of the Triborough Amendment.
