An excerpt from Governor Spitzer’s March 26, 2007 remarks to Commissioner Mills and the Board of Regents:

Accountability should run through the system from top to bottom.  We should make sure districts hold principals and other school leaders accountable for their actions with individual school leadership report cards.  From now on, our children and schools should not be the only ones receiving report cards.  We must insist on annual “School Leadership Report Cards” that track the performance of principals and superintendents.  For the first time, we will be able to rigorously compare the performance of principals and superintendents across the state.
