Assemblyman Abinanti Criticizes NYSED for Acting Unilaterally
On Monday, October 28, 2013, NYSED Commissioner John King, several New York State Regents, and several members of the NY State Legislature attended a public forum at Port Chester Middle School to hear public comment on recent NYSED mandates.
School superintendents, school administrators, school board members, teachers, and parents almost unanimously criticized NYSED’s process and the substance of the mandates recently imposed by the state education department.
Assemblyman Abinanti (D-Mt. Pleasant/Greenburgh) criticized NYSED for failing to work with superintendents, school boards, teachers, and parents before making crucial decisions and for now ignoring their valid concerns after wrong decisions were made.
“For our educational system to be successful, we must all work together,” said Assemblyman Abinanti.
