Video Report: State education commissioner greeted by protests
Primary tabs
On August 28, 2013, about 60 teachers, students, parents, and community members protested outside of School of the Arts where State Education Commissioner John King held a private meeting with administrators and principals without representation from parents or teachers.
There is speculation that King might try to abolish the school board and have a state directed body take over the Rochester City School District. This would give "King John" an opening to push his privatization, neoliberal agenda.
