New York Commissioner MaryEllen Elia is resigning at the end of August. No reason given.... RavitchOur union's buddy is leaving. Remember how they loved her and Bill Gates at the AFT convention in Seattle in 2010 and how they backed her for the state ed job? Arthur has been savaging the state ed dept under her reign: NYSED and ESL--Stupid Is as Stupid Does.
I think Arthur did it.
And Leonie too:
NYSED attempts to radically weaken NY Student privacy law to allow for the selling of student data -
And NYState Opt Out Leader Jeanette Deuterman

Here is the Ravitch post.
The news just broke on Twitter and on Orthodox Jewish websites.

She was a champion of testing, Common Core, and sanctions for parents to dared to opt out of state testing.

I was not a fan of Elia, who I met face to face a few weeks ago. However, I also fail to see the value in any of the Regents, who put up with absolutely nonsensical and counter-productive treatment of ELLs. I wrote about them today as well. They are utterly out of touch, sitting around those buildings having gala luncheons and ignoring the needs of some of the most vulnerable students in the state.
