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

And they get summers off! More than 100 New York educators outside the Big Apple raked in salaries over $300,000 this year — while nearly twice as many made more than the governor, a shocking new study found. At least 114 educators made the six-figure sum in the 2025-2026 school year, a nearly 30% increase from the 90 who made that much across 2024 and 2025, according to a study the Empire Center released Tuesday. The Great Neck UFSD had some of the highest administrator salaries in New York outside of the city. Matthew McDermott Another 2,328 educators were paid over $200,000 in the 2025-2026 school year, 16% more than the previous year’s 2,005, according to the analysis. And 174 of them made over $250,000 — the salary Gov. Kathy Hochul was paid to run the state, the data showed. Lax checks and union apathy kept the accused jogger killer in NYC kids’ classrooms But some of the highest-paid educators were making nearly twice that to run school districts of only a few square miles, including Roslyn Union Free School District where superintendent Allison Feldman enjoyed a $436,976 last school year, the Empire Center found. Great Neck UFSD’s superintendent Kenneth
