WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2016.From Rye Councilwoman Julie Killian. January 28, 2016:
RYE CITY COUNCILWOMAN AND STATE SENATE CANDIDATE JULIE KILLIAN WILL BE JOINED BY RED-FLAG-WIELDING PARENTS AND STUDENTS IN ISSUING A RED FLAG ALERT TO EVERY WESTCHESTER SCHOOL PARENT AND PROPERTY OWNER OVER A LOOMING FEDERAL REGULATION THAT, UNLESS STOPPED, WILL DAMAGE THE REPUTATIONS OF COUNTY SCHOOLS, AND, POTENTIALLY, HOME VALUES.
PARENTS HAVE A SUPER TIGHT DEADLINE TO WEIGH IN ON THE PROPOSAL, WHICH WOULD DESIGNATE SCHOOLS WITH COMMON CORE OPT-OUT RATES OF 5% OR GREATER — VIRTUALLY EVERY WESTCHESTER ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL — AS “IN NEED OF IMPROVEMENT” SCHOOLS.
COUNCILWOMAN KILLIAN WILL CHARGE THAT THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS HAVE UTTERLY FAILED TO ALERT NEW YORKERS ABOUT THIS EXTRAORDINARY AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING PROPOSAL.
