Schools

Opting out of state tests is an option, a new movement has begun

I along with many others are choosing to opt our children out of the state tests this spring. These tests do nothing for our kids. We are standing together and spreading the word to opt out. We want to make a big statement to continue this movement to stop state testing and the linking teacher and school evaluations. For more info please join the Facebook page "long island opt out info" educate yourself on what is going on and who is profiting from your kids.  Their education is suffering with this new common core curriculum and it has to stop. 

We’ve removed the ability to reply as we work to make improvements. Learn more here
