New York’s future success is dependent upon continuing to hold our students to high educational standards that prepare them to enter an increasingly competitive and global workforce. This is why it is so important for the State to convene a diverse group of stakeholders through the Common Core Task Force to address issues surrounding the implementation of the Common Core so that we can provide our children with the best educational experience possible. I am hopeful that this group can help all stakeholders move forward united behind the idea that high academic standards only means success for our students.
