History
A Brief History of CSA
By Jack Zuckerman; CSA Historian
CSA was born in the turbulent sixties because supervisors and administrators had few rights. The many professional organizations that represented supervisors and administrators formed the Council of Supervisory Associations in 1962 to fight for collective bargaining rights with the then NYC Board of Education.
In 1968, CSA became a labor union and changed its name to the Council of Supervisors and Administrators. In 1971, CSA was granted a charter by the AFL-CIO to organize school supervisors in NYS and on the national level. We became Local 1 of the School Administrators and Supervisors organizing committee,(SASOC). In 1976, SASOC held its first convention in NYC and became the American Federation of School Administrators (AFSA). The tenth triennial was held in 2003 in Las Vegas. The New York State Federation of School Administrators (NYSFSA), including CSA, was also formed in 1976.
Today CSA has more than 6,100 active members including 400 directors of city funded Day Care Centers. More than 9,000 retirees and their spouses have already joined our CSA Retiree Chapter.
