SUNY Revises Controversial Proposal to Let Some New York Charter Schools Certify Their Own Teachers
A state group that oversees some New York charter schools has revised a hotly contested proposal to let its schools certify their own teachers ahead of Wednesday’s vote, according to an updated proposal.
