The Auburn Teachers Association endorsed two candidates in the district s highly contested school board race, and publicly backs the proposed budget.
Union president Justin Herrling said the group endorses Matteo Bartolotta and board incumbent Ian Phillips. They are two of eight candidates vying for three three-year board positions.
Bartolotta owns Nino s Pizzeria in Auburn and other small businesses. Phillips, who first came onto the board in 2018, is a New York State United Teachers union employee and chairman of the Cayuga County Democratic Committee.
Herrling said the association felt Barolotta and Phillips would be the best champions for students and the faculty and the district. Herrling said he believed the district s advocacy committee, which was first suggested by Phillips and formed in summer 2018Â to lobby for state aid, is one of the reasons why Auburn is set to get an increase this year.
