**CABOCES does not expect or encourage teachers to teach Zentner's and Cavallaro's YA novel, Sunrise Nights. This is an opportunity for teachers to read and discuss the novel through the lens of the NYS NG ELA standards. Any decision to teach the novel is up to the school district. We always promote communication between teachers and all district stakeholders prior to teaching a new work of fiction or non-fiction.
