Gov. Cuomo is out to teach the teachers union a lesson, vowing Thursday to double down on education reform in his second term.
Cuomo — who noted that the state teachers union didn't endorse him in either of his two races for governor — said overhauling the education system would be as important to his legacy for him as winning approval of gay marriage and enacting strict gun-control laws.
"I want performance in education. It's that simple … Did that upset the teachers union? Yes it does. We have a difference of opinion," Cuomo said on the Albany radio show "Capitol Pressroom" Thursday. Cuomo has had rocky relations with the teachers union.
He has been a booster of charter schools and of using student test scores to rate teachers. The unions have either fought or resisted the changes.
The New York State United Teachers union said in a statement that it would not back down on what it views as attacks on educators.
"We are going to continue to fight to defend our tenure and collective bargaining rights … We are going to continue to fight to stop excessive testing and unfair teacher evaluations … together," said union executive VP Andrew Pallotta.
Education reformers and charter-school proponents were big winners in the 2014 election cycle.
The political arm of the charter-friendly Students First New York spent $4.2 million in the successful campaign to help pro-charter Republicans win control of the New York state Senate.
Teachers' unions backed the Democrats and lost.
The two national teachers' unions — the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association — spent a record $60 million in elections around the nation.
