To build on his 2010 Regional Education Forums, Assemblyman Pete Lopez (R,C,I-Schoharie) has announced that he will be hosting a series of team work sessions throughout the 127th Assembly district to build consensus on
education reform proposals. "In light of the success of last year's forums, I look forward to continuing my partnership with residents, business owners, farmers, taxpayers, school
officials, teachers, and parents to ensure that all views are represented,"
said Lopez in a March 21 press release. "The goal of these work sessions is to build a consensus. We need to keep education affordable without compromising quality. I look forward to bringing this cross-section of the community together, all with different backgrounds and ideologies, to see where we come together on educating the students of the 127th district." Last year, Assemblyman Lopez held a series of public forums to elicit grassroots ideas on how to ensure quality and affordable education in our local schools, and invited residents to participate in the follow-up team work sessions. Teams were put together for follow-up, which is who will be meeting in the coming weeks, although the public is invited to observe "By organizing these working teams, my goal is to bring all of the groups together, at one table to identify the most crucial areas where we can do better, to find and build consensus, and
ultimately, to offer statewide solutions," said Assemblyman Lopez. Locally, Lopez will be holding a work team session from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 9, 2011 at Catskill High School in Greene County.
