Last month, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy
proposed sweeping
changes in the state's school financing
formula that would dramatically shift education
funding from wealthier districts
to poorer ones.
The
proposed changes to the state
funding formula were first recommended in a 2015 report by a commission created
to review and update the state's education
funding formula.
Legislation coming out of this year's General Assembly could
change a lot for the day
to day operations of schools, with the
funding formula changing and a variety of structural
changes proposed for the State Board of Education, and one thing teachers are keeping a close eye on: their collective bargaining rights for new bonuses.
But I will proudly stand by my statement that a Democrat who
proposed doing away with teacher tenure for all public school teachers and repealing collective bargaining for teachers in the poorest school; who refuses
to de-couple inappropriate standardized tests from teacher evaluation; who diverts a hundred million dollars a year from public schools
to prop up unaccountable charter schools that refuse
to educate their fair share of bi-lingual students and students who need special education services; and who refused
to settle the CCEJF lawsuit and develop a long - term
change to Connecticut's school
funding formula... DOES NOT deserve the badge of honor that comes with being endorsed by teacher unions.
