Statement from Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins

I applaud the election of Betty Rosa as the new Chancellor for the State Board of Regents. Dr.
Rosa has a distinguished career of serving New York students and ensuring that our most
vulnerable children have access to essential education services. Dr. Rosa was a leading voice in
addressing the wide spread concerns related to the implementation of the Common Core
standards, and I commend her for those efforts. I look forward to working with Dr. Rosa to
improve the quality of our states public schools and to guarantee that every New York student
receives the top-notch education they deserve.
