AVOID FOMO
GET INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING OUR 2019-20 advocacy platform. Our legislative priorities are not yet finalized, so join us at our Legislative Advocacy Committee meeting on September 26th and give your input. This is also your chance to be in the know about the NYSSBA resolutions that are up for approval at this year's convention.
RECENT ACTION TAKEN BY WPSBA
THE DRAFT SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCY REGULATIONS would place an undue burden on school finances and administrator time. We've sent comments to NYSED explaining how the proposed formal process of reviewing curriculum in private and parochial schools would be an unfunded mandate on local school districts. We hope the NYS Ed Dept will take our concerns into account as they decide their next steps.
