The LUT strongly supports Assembly members Todd Kaminsky and Amy Paulin's comprehensive legislation that will bring common sense back to New York State Education. Combined, the five bills will:

  • End over-testing and require full test transparency (A09584 - Kaminsky)
  • Restore local control and repeal receivership law (A09578 - Kaminsky)
  • Create needed alternative pathways to graduation for students (A09579 - Kaminsky)
  • Decouple teacher/principal evaluations from test results (A09626 - Kaminsky)
  • Decouple financial penalties from teacher/principal evaluation plans if not in place by this Fall & require an expert committee to develop a research-based teacher/principal evaluation plan (A09461-Paulin)
Assembly members Kaminsky & Paulin's bills are an important start to fixing the damage done to education in New York State.
 
Please take action now and send a letter to your Assembly member and Senator.  Demand that they support these five bills that begin to heal the trust broken by damaging education legislation and policy.
