Statewide Para/PSRP Conference May 2nd!

Dear Fellow Paraprofessionals,

The Boston Teachers Union and AFT-Massachusetts will host the 40th Annual Paraprofessional/PSRP Statewide Conference at the Boston Teachers Union Hall (180 Mt. Vernon St., Dorchester) on May 2, 2026 from 8:30am to 3pm.

This year’s conference, titled “40 years of Para/PSRP Solidarity”, will feature workshops covering topics such as your union & constitutional rights, how to establish Health &Safety committees in your schools, and much more. There will also be resource tables offering information on career advancement opportunities and student debt relief. Lunch will be served and all attendees will receive a small giftbag at the end of the day.

Anyone who plans to attend the conference is also welcome to gather together the night before on May 1st at Boston Bowl from 6:30-9pm to have some fun and support a fellow para and AFT MA member. Scan the QR code or click the image below to access the registration form.
