Today Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a law requiring
teachers get a report cards, as well as, students. The law requires public disclosure
of teacher evaluations. Supporters say parents and the public have access to
information about how the teachers, principals and schools educate children's. Some
area educators feel there's uncertainty will the current bill. One
superintendent here at home, says keeping the public informed on the system is
key. Clinton Central School District Superintendent Matt Reilly says, "We have to
educate the public about what process is derive these scores. And again as I
said what it looks like in Westmoreland, what it looks like in New Hartford,
what it looks like in Whitesboro is going to be slightly different than what it
looks like in Clinton" Currently there is no
standard for how teachers will be evaluated. Schools have until January to put
one in place.
