Connecticut and “Education Reform” – The Truth is it’s all about Section 18: - Wait, What?

Connecticut and “Education Reform” – The Truth is it’s all about Section 18: - Wait, What?: "Commissioner’s Network Schools would be treated differently than any other schools in Connecticut. Collective bargaining would be outlawed at Commissioner’s Network” Schools and the organizations or companies running the schools would not have to abide by the state laws limiting the use of consultants or requiring things like competitive bidding for purchases.

The Education Commissioner would also have the power to overturn any previous decision of the local Board of Education that he did not like.

The Malloy Administration has been arguing that these changes would allow the Commissioner’s Network Schools to quickly turnaround the quality of education at these schools.

Opponents point out that there is no evidence that taking this drastic action would improve the quality of these schools and, in the meantime, they would become “cash cows” for the people and companies running those schools.
