Hearings on Charters, Accountability, and Testing

April 30, 2015

The BEA has
Association Days if you would like to attend State House hearings on MTA’s
priority preK-12 issues before the Joint Committee on Education. Both hearings
are currently scheduled to be held at 10 a.m. on the dates listed below. These
bills were generated by our members: Make your voices heard.
  • May 26, the
    committee will hear testimony on legislation related to charter schools and
    school and district accountability, including an MTA-backed bill that would
    place a three-year moratorium on the approval of new charter schools and
    require all Commonwealth charter school teachers to be licensed.

  • June 11, the
    committee will consider bills on testing, including an MTA-supported bill to
    impose a three-year moratorium on the high-stakes use of all standardized
    tests, as well as a three-year moratorium on the administration of the PARCC
    tests. 

More details, including hearing locations and instructions on signing up to
testify, will be posted here. If you cannot come to a hearing, please be alert
for calls to action to spread the word about testing and charters and how they
are undermining public education.
