Educators and advocates will hold a rally for gubernatorial candidate Zephyr Teachout on the Ossining waterfront at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Teachout, a constitutional law professor, is challenging Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the Democratic nomination. She says she would halt the implementation of the Common Core standards and work to reduce the federal government's influence on local education.

The rally will take place at Louis Engel Park next to the Ossining Train Station.

Among the speakers will be: Teachout; Adam Yuro, past president of the Bedford Teachers Association; Carol Burris, a Long Island principal who is highly critical of the state's education agenda; and Lisa Rudley and Bianca Tanis, both founding members of New York Allies for Public Education, a network of advocacy groups.
