The oft-embattled chairwoman of the state Board of Education voted against a debate on the highly-politicized issue last night despite saying in May that it was an “important” issue that would “be coming before the Board.”

Mancuso also said in the video, “I don’t think it’s the best test.”

In a tweet this morning related to this video, Jean Ann Guliano wrote, “Chair Mancuso promised a debate. I hope she keeps her word. Since this interview, the Board has met at least twice in private to discuss the matter. Mancuso has yet to explain why she changed her mind.
