Jerry Knows Best: Mandates CPR Training for Graduation/Veto’s Accountability of School Systems

By Stephen Frank on Sep 26, 2016 08:15 pm
The Brown Administration education policy is set by the unions—not the parents or needs of students.  So, it comes as no surprise, the confused Guv vetoes a bill to reform the accountability of government schools—instead his union controlled administration will determine how best to KEEP the current failed system.  On the other hand he is […]
