The Kingston Teachers’ Federation is a union of employees of the Kingston City School District that recognize that we have a common goal with the school district, of working towards providing the finest educational opportunities for the students of the district. This goal is best achieved by the joint efforts of the Federation and the District.
What We Do...
The Federation and District, through joint study and deliberation, endeavor in good faith to negotiate salaries, and terms and conditions of employment. KTF members voluntarily pay dues to support and provide for strong collective bargaining. Our union has allowed us to build a strong professional community that empowers our members to be their very best! It allows us the rights AND strength to stand up and advocate for our profession and the students we teach. Our dues also provide support, services and benefits to members through KTF and our affiliations with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and New York State United Teachers (NYSUT.)

Vote Cope
Your statewide union has a political fund-raising arm called VOTECOPE. VOTE-COPE is NYSUT's non-partisan action fund that coordinates the
voluntary contributions of members and supports NYSUT-endorsed candidates
and campaign committees that are pro-public-education and pro-labor.
No NYSUT dues dollars are used to support candidates or campaign
committees.
NYSUT Disaster Relief
NYSUT Disaster Relief Grants are made possible primarily by donations from NYSUT Members along with support from NYSUT, AFT and NEA Member Benefits.
CHILDCARE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Earlier this year, thanks to NYSUT’s advocacy, Governor Hochul announced an investment in child care services through a special grant program administered by the Workforce Development Institute (WDI).
WDI launched the Child Care Scholarship Program to help working families with the high cost of child care.
