Professional Development for School SecretariesAs in previous years, your school secretaries are invited to attend citywide professional development (PD) sessions on Election Day, November 6. Secretaries, who choose to attend the PD sessions, must attend a session in your school's borough. School secretaries in District 75 and in the Affinity Field Support Center (AFSA), who choose to attend the PD sessions, must attend a session in the FSC of their school district. Please share this information with your secretaries and encourage them to register by November 1; they should use the registration link for the FSC that is closest to their school.
