Statement From Senate Democratic Conference Leader Andrea

Stewart-Cousins On Education
As discussions regarding a commission to reform New Yorks education system continue and
details begin to emerge, it is becoming clear that this potential commission is unworkable. Any
commission created to review and amend our education system must be balanced and include
representation from all stakeholders, not simply a select few. The priorities of this commission
should be to improve the quality of education our students receive, and not simply continue the
demonization of teachers.
