New Action: solidarity against Bloomberg on tenure

Reacting to Mayor Bloomberg’s stated intention to unilaterally tie tenure to test scores, starting this year,

New Action called for a “united stand” and for extending “our hands to all to join us in this fight.”

About the mayor:  His goal is “to tie student test scores to teacher evaluation, to attack tenure, to close more schools and open more charters, to go after ATRs, and to unleash hundreds of Leadership Academy principals…”

About our leadership’s mistakes: “We will need to talk about the mistakes …  endorsement, governance, term limits, but another day. This is not the time for recriminations.”
