Hochul needs to bite back big time at NY schools chief Betty Rosa’s blackmail bid

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

Eastchester, Putnam Valley, John Jay-East Fishkill win NY cheer titles

Three Section 1 teams won state championships at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Game Day Cheer meet Nov. 8 at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy. In the competition, which was divided by enrollment, Putnam Valley won in Class C, Eastchester won in Class B and John Jay-East Fishkill won in Class A. The victory for Eastchester was their third consecutive state title - a first in the sport since its inception at the state championship level in 2023. The win for Putnam Valley was its second straight state title and third in four years. And John Jay-East Fishkill won its first state title and the first ever for a Dutchess County school. Cheer has two different competition seasons in New York. Game day cheer is for activities and routines - as is evident in the name - that happen on a game day. The other season is competitive cheerleading, more based on routines, which takes place in the winter, with state championships held in March in Binghamton. Eastchester, as it was in its other two state championships, is coached by Stephanie Leone. "What made this season so strong was our ability to evolve while maintaining
