Doing Right by Area Students

What are the top challenges our students face as we start the new year?

It's the first full week of the school year, and along with the excitement comes the many issues facing public education.

Schools are facing issues related to the Common Core Learning standards and are updating teacher performance evaluations.

Communities have debated whether or not our children have been tested enough and what the value of testing is.

The amount of resources available to students are also an issue as districts wrestle with the New York State property tax cap.

We want to know what the the biggest issue is facing our students as we kick off the new year.
