The “Education Reformers” just aren’t capable of telling the truth….but hopefully legislators will! - Wait, What?: "The language creating the “Commissioner’s Network” (previously known as Section 18) is very clear, very concise and, if the bill passes, it will become very much the law in Connecticut.

So what does the language actually do?

It allows Stefan Pryor, Malloy’s Education Commissioner, to take over up to 25 local schools this summer.

The local board of education will then have 120 days to agree to the Commissioner’s “turnaround” plan.  If they don’t, the Commissioner takes official control of the schools, fires the teachers and administrators, bans collective bargaining and turns the schools over to an unnamed and undefined third parties.

These entities, in turn, would be exempt from Connecticut’s laws limiting the use of outside consultants and the laws requiring competitive bidding.

If Connecticut legislators support Malloy’s “Commissioner’s Network” they are supporting each of the following provisions.

Now is the time to call, email or write to see and see if your legislators support these actions"
