New York State Regents re-election no slam dunk amid widespread furor over Com­mon Core



ALBANY —
A usually routine re-election vote for four members of the state Board of Regents scheduled for Tuesday has taken on drama amid widespread furor over the rollout of tough new academic standards. Lawmakers facing elec­t ions this year are feeling the heat from parents and educators on Com­mon Core standards. The Regents, elected for five-year terms, oversee state educational policy. Two at-large members, former Rochester City Councilman Wade Nor­wood and James Cottrell, are up for re-election along with Christine Cea, who represents Staten Island, and James Jack­son, who represents the Albany area. The Re­gents are chosen by the majority of the state’s 63 senators and 150 Assem­bly members, meaning 107 votes are needed to win.
