This is actually great. The mask slips and UIA finally admit two things:

1. They are imposing a blind model, just because it "worked" in Boston. They have little real interest in New Bedford's schools/students beyond it's availability as an easy locale.

2. Teachers at Innovation schools will not share a contract with district teachers. They will be represented by the union only according to strict Innovation school limits. This is your "union friendly" UIA where the union exists in name only.

They still avoid the truth embedded in the approved Innovation school guidelines, which will guarantee average or above average funding for these schools and will exempt these chosen schools from SPED and ELL requirements.

Yes, let's get the facts straight about small autonomous schools. The are a bad idea, a disaster if you will.

The UIA uses children to push their propaganda. How can a child who's in 1st or 2nd grade speak on the merits of small autonomous schools? Disgraceful.

They also use a new bedford high school student to do the same. If she likes small autonomous schools so much she should have gone to the charter school.
