State Education Commissioner Betty Rosa is trying to pull off a nasty bit of blackmail; Gov. Kathy Hochul can make her pay for it — and strike a blow for high-quality education at the same time. Rosa this week issued a public “poverty” plea, claiming the state’s multibillion-dollar school system can’t afford to implement her new, hopelessly watered-down standards for high school graduation without a fresh cash bath. It’s classic Albany extortion: Cry broke to milk taxpayers for more dough. Problem is, Hochul is already on record doubting the value of Rosa’s scheme, and even wishing for more power to stop it. Over 100 NYS school officials raked in $300K last year — and 174 made more than Hochul And Rosa (at least rhetorically) just handed her that power: The gov can now use the coming budget negotiations to explicitly defund the transition. The scheme is terrible : Gone is any need to pass the Regents exams that have been the hallmark of a top-notch New York education for over a century; in are meaningless “assessments” and “portfolios” that will make it easier than ever for cynical administrators to graduate kids with utterly worthless diplomas. Empire State taxpayers already cough

The state’s education chief is pushing Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany pols to cough up an expected massive funding increase for school districts to comply with her controversial move to KO the Regents. The tin-cup pitch from Commish Betty Rosa could trigger a battle with Hochul, who has been critical of phasing out the state’s Regents exams , which New York high school students have been required to pass to graduate. “When we have an initiative like this, we can’t be starved,” Rosa said during a Board of Regents meeting this week , referring to her push to replace the exams with alternative graduation requirements — and the need to train teachers to achieve her demand. New York’s Education Department commissioner is asking Gov. Kathy Hochul to increase state funding. Matt Roberts/Shutterstock “This state has to make a huge investment if we’re going to modernize and transform education,” she said without specifying how much money she would request from Hochul and the state legislature.
