@JeffKlaus28 @AFTCT I don't think I need to be inpatient. Insolvency around the corner.

@JeffKlaus28 @AFTCT and fringe is KILLING us. I can't get grants when half my costs disappear to fringe. Paying for unkept promises.

@JeffKlaus28 @AFTCT the argument was we need an ARC bc residents can no longer afford tuition. Yet state keeps raising tuition rates

@Wlecker exactly why would anyone from NHPS enroll at Southern for 10s of thousands of dollars when you can now do @RelayGSE for free

@Wlecker Not totally against @RelayGSE I think teacher prep school be done more clinically, but this is about privatizing higher ed

@Wlecker Why can't Higher Ed get same flexibility in training teachers. Instead we get higher tuition, probationary status, and more regs

@Wlecker It was a scam from the get go. The lasw authorizing was signed a week ago and they already have 52 students to enroll? Fix was in.

@Wlecker @AFTCT not yet but no member has spoken against it. Who would be against increased minority recruitment?

Relay started in 2011 when charter schools wanted to train folks by handing out copies of Doug Lemov's book.

@AFTCT Wish we were allowed to run a certification program in a year for 3K with almost free tuition. Will gut us. Why would people enroll?

@AFTCT @CTNetworkTV Watching it now, but have to go to class to prepare teachers who have to pay increasingly high tuition. Talking fluency

Notes November 2, 2016
It is clear that the State is going to vote to allow Relay in while they continuously underfund and over regulate higher education.
Greg McVerry
Notes November 2, 2016
All teacher prep programs should increase the clinical hours and be classroom based. We shouldn't destroy higher ed to accomplish this
Greg McVerry
Notes November 2, 2016
I don't mind the Relay model, but why not grant higher ed the same flexibility so we can train teachers for free?

@lclambeck Foregone conclusion. Malloy signed minority recruitment bill last week and they were ready to launch with 52 students week later?
