NY education forum set for Albany amid controversy
State Education Commissioner John King Jr. is set to attend a forum in Albany on new Common Core learning reforms.
The meeting Thursday will be his first since an earlier series of planned appearances was cancelled after he was shouted down at a meeting in Poughkeepsie on Oct. 10.
Some parent and teacher groups have called for his resignation, saying he’s ignored their views as the state has adopted the national public education standards.
