NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - Parents, teachers and community members will have a chance to weigh in on New York’s education reforms at a public forum.
The summit scheduled for Thursday evening at Niagara Falls High School was originally planned for January 6 but postponed by weather.
Organizers John Ceretto, a state Assemblyman, and Sen. George Maziarz are expected to speak, along with teachers and parents.
The forum comes after the state’s Board of Regents earlier this week agreed to make several changes to the way the state is implementing the Common Core learning standards, which are meant to better prepare students for college and careers.
The more difficult standards have been adopted by all but a handful of states but the rollout has been widely criticized in New York as being rushed and uneven.
