UFT exec board says voters should decide on term limits

As we indicated it might, the United Federation of Teachers’ executive board has just passed a resolution recommending a voter referendum on term limits. Tomorrow at a Delegate Assembly, the resolution goes before the delegates — teachers and other UFT members representing each city school — who could add amendments.

For now, here’s the fifth of six resolutions the delegates will see:

We’ll post the full text of the resolution as soon as we have it.

Update: Read the resolution after the jump.
