FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Statement from Commissioner Elia on Charter Advocacy Day
Since I became Commissioner seven months ago, I've travelled more than 20,000 miles all around the state. I've been to hundreds of events and met with thousands of ˮAV˵ers – students, parents, teachers, administrators, union leaders, community and business leaders.
Some of those ˮAV˵ers agree with me; some don't.
Tomorrow, I willtake another opportunity tomeet and speak with parents about the importance of high expectations for all students.
I'm not interested in politics or pushing political agendas. I've made a commitment to communicate to as many ˮAV˵ers as possible as we try to help our students succeed. Nothing should get in the way of that.
