Please join us June 12 for the fourth annual "Skinny" awards!
More and more of what’s happening in
NYC, from the expansion of charter schools and high-stakes testing, to the new
teacher evaluation system and the Common Core standards, are coming down on us
from the NY State Education Dept. and the Board of Regents.
Please join us in honoring two
women, both former NYC superintendents and now Regents members, working to see
our children do not suffer from the negative impacts of these policies, that the
quality of our public schools is strengthened rather than undermined, and that
the parents’ voice is heard in Albany.
