(Thursday, May 23, 2019) – The New York State Education
Commissioner and the local members of the Board of Regents, given months of
review, have put on the table a bold, visionary plan to provide every child in
our city a quality education and address one of our greatest challenges.
Our children deserve an educational system that puts
their needs above those of adults. The Commissioner is best equipped to fix our
broken school system. The plan that allows for true change is the solution that
our community needs. Anything less will only exacerbate the problem and put
needs of adults before our children.
This solution at its heart removes any political
influence from the process and truly focuses on the education of our children.
Now, it’s up to our local delegation to lead the fight
and I implore the entire State Legislature to fix our school system, which has
failed far too many of our children for far too long. We have a clear choice.
A choice between the status quo or a brighter future.
A choice between the wants of adults or the needs of
children.
A choice between families suffering or community schools
that lift them up.
A choice between losing another generation of our
children or allowing them to fulfill their dreams.
Our community and our Legislature must seize this last
best chance to make our city's schools beacons of hope.
