A coalition of… coalitions has coalesced in support of Governor Malloy’s education reform legislation.
The group includes organizations that support boards of education and superintendents, the business community and charter school advocates.
These groups -- CAPSS, CAS, CABE, CBIA, CCER, ConnCAN-- not only represent a full range of acronyms but also have wide-ranging agendas. So what is it in the Governor’s plan that they can agree on?
Well, two obvious missing acronyms from this group are CEA and AFT -- the two largest teacher’s unions in the state. They’ve been critical of portions of the Malloy plan that deal with teacher tenure.
We recently heard from the unions -- so today, we’ll continue our series on education reform in the state by inviting representatives from this consortium into our studios to talk about what they think real reform looks like.
