(Long Island, NY) “Life is stressful enough as it is. Our students should not be afraid of school or worry about high stakes testing and where they will be placed. This year’s budget delays the most frustrating part of Common Core, giving us two years to reexamine it without harming our kids’ education.
“This budget also creates a ‘Parents Bill of Rights’ giving them the right to inspect and review the complete contents of their child’s education record. Furthermore, it states that personally identifiable information cannot be sold or released for any commercial purposes.
“Moving forward, I will continue to protect our students as well as listen and work with parents and teachers to address this issue.”
