Even as the final hours of the 2015 legislative session drew
to a close, Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, continued to fight for reforms
that would make learning, not testing, the focus of education in New York
State.
“I’ve heard from parents and teachers across the North
Country and I believe we’ve made significant strides towards a more fair and
functional educational system,” Russell said. “There is work to be done, but I’m
proud of the work we did and look forward to continuing to fight for our
schools in the future.”
