NYS official public comment period to begin soon:
We expect the state’s official call for public comments to be posted in the NYS Register next week. I’ll send a message when it’s posted.

Background:
SUNY’s Charter School Committee met on July 6 and approved proposed regulatory changes that would allow SUNY-authorized charter schools to create their own teacher preparation programs and circumvent NYS teacher certification requirements.

SUNY’s proposals are posted at the following link
