Senator Rev Ruben Diaz Applauds Governor Spitzer's "New Contract for Excellent Initiatives"
As the representative of the 32nd Senatorial District in Bronx County, I welcome Governor Eliot Spitzer’s plan to visit JHS 123 located at 1025 Morrison Avenue on Monday November 26, 2007 at 9:30 AM. The purpose of his visit is to announce the “New Contract for Excellent Initiatives” created by Governor Eliot Spitzer. I congratulate Governor Spitzer as the architect of this school reform, and I hope that Mayor Bloomberg and New York School Chancellor Klein will apply this New Contract for Excellence exactly as Governor Spitzer and the New York State Legislature have deemed it to be. After so many years of dysfunction and broken promises, it seems as if we will finally see $258 million directed specifically to school districts based on student needs and not based on political bureaucracy. The New Contract for Excellent Initiatives is to increase accountability and improve academic performance in New York’s public schools. This year’s State budget has allocated $19.6 billion for education; this is the largest investment in New York’s history, and includes an additional $1.8 billion in funding. The New Contract for Excellent Initiatives will require that the low performance school districts reveive a 10 percent, or $15 million increase in State funding, and must develop specific plans that demonstrae how the increased funding will be used to increase student performance.Every time I read this website and there is anything at all about Senator Diaz doing something genuine and caring for others, some anoymous hatemonger writes something to insult the Senator. It's sad to see such an exaggeration of Senator Diaz's past to make it sound worse than it was ... wasn't there a law suit settlement about that whole thing and Senator Diaz didn't lose ... Some people can't let go of their anger. Just something to think about during the holiday season. How can we expect there to be Peace on Earth when people at too eager to be so hurtful to each other? At least Senator Diaz is man enough to say what he feels publicly, whether we agree with him or not. Meanwhile many people are so quick and eager to insult him at every turn, regardless of his position, yet do so anonymously. Disliking someone is very different from disagreeing with someone. Unfortunately, people like you are allowed to make idiotic comments and ruin any possibility of an intelligent exchange of ideas. You may THINK Senator Diaz is a low life, but you write and behave like one. NYC public school spending, and its share of state school aid, has generally been low. You voted for budgets that cheated NYC children. Even today, when you look at total state education funding, including "tax relief" aid, NYC residents are paying more in state taxes than they are getting back from state school aid.
Accountability is being required of NYC to improve the schools. All well and good. But the threat is to cut the city's share of state education funding even more.
Where is the accountability for the rest of the state, where the schools are good but the spending is ridiculous? Threaten to take that school tax relief aid away! I agree, sometimes we should just accept that people want to change and try to support them, if we see that their actions are helping our society. The educational system always needs improvements and therefore money. It was because I didn't have money that I was about to drop everything, but fortunately I've found a way to get an online mba degree and was able to finish my studies.
I believe it's fascinating how our visual need needs to be stimulated more nowadays than it was before. Remember when we were children? We needed so little to study, and now children have to see freshly bought things to become interested. I wonder how many of them will choose to take good online courses, like the criminal justice degree I'm currently studying for.
I have received a red color canvas tote. It looks just like a huge buying Armani Outlet Medium Nova Check Hobo Bag along with orange manages. It is a fashionable tote although its physical appearance is very simple and has almost no design. I like the actual Burberry Medium Nova Check Hobo Bag generally because the design is practical.
