.:: NEW YORK STATE BUDGET PASSES - Good bye, inBloom!!! ::. Sen. George Latimer, D-Rye, Westchester County, praised some of the budget’s provisions related to the Common Core, the tougher education standards being implemented in New York schools. The budget would keep schools from using Common Core-based test scores as the sole reason for promoting or placing an elementary school student, while those tests issued over the next two years will be kept off students’ transcripts. It would also prohibit the state from sending identifiable student information to private third parties like inBloom Inc., which had been working with the state Education Department to create a statewide database of student information. Most importantly on this, I think this budget articulates the concern that we have over data privacy and data collection, Latimer said. We want proper data that helps teachers teach. We do not want something intrusive. (Source: stargazette/article/20140401/NEWS10/303310018/NY-lawmakers-pass-fourth-consecutive-on-time-budget) #SayNoToCommonCore
