Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-North Shore) accused the Oct. 31 rally held by Long Island officials and state lawmakers of falsely characterizing a state takeover of public education.
In a letter to Long Island superintendents, Lavine referred to the rally as “nothing more and nothing less than political theater designed to frighten the public.”
“When I learned that the Republicans had invited members of school boards to this rally they had on the 31st, I was not pleased, to say the least,” Lavine said in an interview with Schneps Media Long Island. “I don’t believe that school districts should engage in politics.”
