TALI is a way to become involved and affect change in what is going on in education. Here is some information for us to get familiar with it and get involved to make a change!
The war against high-stakes testing and the Tax Cap continues to be the focus of Take Action Long Island (TALI). On October 17, TALI held its Public Education at a Crossroads 2.0 forum. PTA and Union leaders from Nassau and Suffolk Counties were brought together to discuss high-stakes testing, Common Core, and the Tax Cap. Guest speaker Jeannette Deutermann, creator of the Facebook page Long Island Opt-Out and co-founder of New York Allies for Education discussed the genesis behind the parent movement against high-stakes testing. John Lipani, teacher, union representative, and coach from Levittown, spoke to the Tax Cap and the present and future impact it has on our public schools.
