GUESTS: ATTORNEY WENDY LECKER AND NY SENATOR JOHN LIU
We'll interview two guests: attorney Wendy Lecker of the Education Law Center, who will discuss the class size lawsuit on behalf of nine NYC parents vs the state and city of New York, for their failure to lower class size.
The other guest will be Senator John Liu, chair of the NYC Education Committee in the State Senate, who will tell us what new laws, funding levels and other actions we may expect in the coming legislative session that affect our public schools. I always find what goes on in Albany to be very mysterious - perhaps straight-talking Senator Liu, who was formerly a City Council member and NYC Comptroller, will help us undo some of that mystery.
