MEMORANDUM
Memo To: All Buffalo Teachers
From: Philip Rumore, President, BTF
Date: December 5, 2022
Subject: Vote of No Confidence
The vote of No Confidence for Superintendent Dr. Tonja Williams and the Board of Education was as follows:
| 90.68% | (1,713) | I vote No Confidence for Superintendent Tonja M. Williams and the entire Buffalo Board of Education. | |
| 3.44% | (65) | I vote against a Vote for No Confidence for Superintendent Tonja M. Williams and the entire Buffalo Board of Education | |
| 5.88% | (111) | I abstain from voting for No Confidence in Superintendent Tonja M. Williams and the entire Buffalo Board of Education. |
The overwhelming vote speaks loudly and needs no comment.
We had a short window in order to have results before our next negotiations on December 8, 2022.
Once again, if there is no substantial movement, there will be another vote of No Confidence for the Superintendent and Board. This will be the first time there will be two (2) votes of no confidence.
Hopefully, there will be substantial progress.
You and our students deserve a contract that reflects your dedication and commitment to our students and each other.
Stay Tuned.
