    Welcome to the Smithtown Teachers’ Association homepage. This site is designed specifically for members of the STA. However, many others may find it useful and informative. In addition to containing information specific to members of the STA, our site contains links to many other educational oriented websites. 

    The Smithtown Teachers’ Association has been recognized by the State of New York as the exclusive bargaining agent for all Smithtown teachers since 1967. We presently represent approximately 900 staff members. Our local organization is affiliated at the state level with the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) and the national level with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). The AFT is a member organization of the AFL-CIO. 

    The STA’s governance structure includes five elected officers and the Executive Committee. The elected positions are President, First Vice President, Second Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Executive committee is the main governing body of the STA and includes all officers, building representatives, chairpersons of standing committees, the immediate past president and NYSUT/AFT delegates.  

    The STA represents the teachers, teacher assistants, educational sign language interpreters and academic intervention tutors of Smithtown in collective bargaining situations and all matters that pertain to the collective bargaining agreement. Furthermore, it is our efforts that guarantee the teachers a voice in matters of professional concern within our District, which distinguishes the STA as a unique professional union.  

    We welcome all comments and concerns regarding this site. You can contact the union using the "Contact" link on the left, or call the STA office at
