Educational Forum on High Stakes Testing & The Common Core

Over 300 children refused the 2014 ELA tests in Commack. Over 20,000 opted out on Long Island (Newsday only reported 10,000 because they only reported numbers from 67 of 128 school districts). Join us on April 24th to find out why so many parents are choosing to refuse these tests for their children. Discuss these issues with professionals, educators and other parents. Now is the time to get informed and be involved in your child's education.
