AFT Resolution

DECAY OF THE EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE

WHEREAS, school buildings in urban centers throughout the nation are suffering from severe deterioration; and

WHEREAS, fiscal problems facing local governments have resulted in the absence of funds for school repair and maintenance; and

WHEREAS, the Reagan administration budget policies have deprived state and local governments of funds required for the repair and maintenance of school buildings:

RESOLVED, that the AFT convene a "blue ribbon" panel made up of educators, labor leaders, parents, and private sector representatives to analyze the state of school buildings and recommend a national policy for school repair, maintenance, and replacement.

(1986)

Please note that a newer resolution, or portion of a resolution, may have superseded an earlier resolution on the same subject. As a result, with the exception of resolutions adopted at our most recent AFT convention, resolutions do not necessarily reflect current AFT policies.
