From his comments regarding the revised Code of Conduct for Rochester City Schools to a call for his resignation from the Democrat & Chronicle, the President of the Rochester Teachers Association has been taking some heat from various parts of the community.  But Adam Urbanski has also been called a champion for public education. For more than 30 years the former high school teacher and college professor has served at the helm of the RTA. From superintendent turn-over, revised education policies, and an ever-changing school climate, among other things, he has remained a constant presence over the past few decades.

On this segment of Need to Know, Adam Urbanski joins the program to give his take on the state of education in Rochester City Schools and the journey ahead.
