That would begin to scare the shit out of these bullies.
This
afternoon, Class Size Matters and NYS Allies for Public Education sent
the below letter to the Commissioner Elia and the NYS Board of Regents,
expressing our strong objections to the draft ESSA regulations that were released last month.
These regulations violate assurances that were given parents that NYSED would continue to respect their rights to opt their children out of the state exams. Instead the regs would allow the Commissioner to wrongly identify their children's schools in need of "Comprehensive Support," withhold Title One funds and even close these schools or turn them into charters if the opt out rates were judged too high. NYSUT, the state teachers union, sent a similar letter of protest on May 29.
The Regents will be discussing these regs at their meeting on Monday, June 11. Feel free to contact Elia at Commissioner@nysed.gov or your Regents member to make your voices heard. You can also submit comments through July 9 to ESSAREGCOMMENT@nysed.gov .
