State Board of Education Support Malloy's Original Education Reform Bill - Courant.com

State Board of Education Support Malloy's Original Education Reform Bill - Courant.com: "The State Board of Education gave Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's original education reform bill a vote of unanimous support Wednesday and urged lawmakers to restore key aspects of the bill that were revised last week.

Allan Taylor, board chairman, said that the bill reported out of the legislature's Education Committee last week "does not accomplish what needs to be accomplished. It steps back from some of the very important proposals in the governor's package."

Malloy's original reform package was "a coherent proposal," Taylor said, while the revised bill is a "less-than-coherent set of measures and studies that give the impression that the state continues to be unwilling to look at what we need to do to get our education system moving in the right direction."

The board's vote followed a presentation by state Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor, who pointed out differences between Malloy's original bill and the revised version."
