Common Core public hearing Friday in Albany

Nov 05, 2015 12:02 am
Bethany Bump reports in the Capitol Confidential blog that Governor Andrew Cuomo claims he wants public input in changing the Common Core education program in Albany. The proof: he's holding public input sessions that he announced at the last minute and is holding during the workday to make sure the public could give input. "The locations were made public... just three days before the meetings — a move many now consider the state’s modus operandi when it comes to implementing education reform," Bump writes. There are several simultaneous public sessions, and the closest one is from 3-5 p.m. at the Crossings of Colonie at 580 Albany Shaker Rd. in Loudonville. State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia and Sleepy Hollow High School Principal Carol Conklin-Spillane are part of the listening panel. Read the full story in Capitol Confidential.
