Statement of Commissioner Frank Edelblut

CONCORD - Following the vote of the Joint Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules to issue a preliminary objection to rules implementing the Learn Everywhere program, Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut gave the following statement:

“Today’s action was disappointing, but not unexpected. Unfortunately, any attempt to change the status quo in our schools is met with resistance. Giving parents and students more options will create more paths to bright futures. The Department will listen to the objections that members of the committee raised today and respond within 45 days.”
