To all NY Warriors, BAMs, BATs, Friends and Family, My regional organization Hudson Valley Parent/Educator Initiative (a parent org of HVACC), is an advocacy organization of parents and community members spanning a number of school districts in the Hudson Valley that seeks to preserve academic programs, arts, music and other programs and to ensure that students are provided their rights to a sound basic education. The organization seeks to challenge flawed educational policies including, but not limited to, CCSS, APPR, HST and the P-20 data repository plan InBloom and advocates for developmentally appropriate and engaging educational policies for students and teachers with an emphasis on advocating for needs of schools located outside of the Big 5. We are pleased to announce that we have joined New Yorkers for Students’ Educational Rights (NYSER), a statewide coalition of parents, concerned citizens and community groups, advocacy organizations, and school boards that seeks to ensure the opportunity for a sound basic education for all students attending public schools in New York State through policy analysis, advocacy, and legal action. More specifically, Hudson Valley Parent/Educator Initiative has been added as a plaintiff in a pending lawsuit against NYSED, Gov. Cuomo and the Regents challenge the States edu policies and fiscal formulas which divest $ from students thereby undermining students right to a sound basic education. A copy of the Complaint can be found here: nyser.org/complaint.html (amended copy to follow).
