In what was called a "rare rejection" of a Christie proposal, the plan was voted down by the state Board of Education, with the board president stating publicly that he "couldn't find anybody who thought this was a good idea," other than the charter school lobby. Let Governor Cuomo know that nobody thinks this is a good idea for the children of New York either. All children deserve a qualified teacher in the classroom. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-speed-track-charter-teacher-certification
