Lots of info packed in here. The highlight is that I picked up the first edition of our newletter: MORE Stuff in Your Mailbox.
This is the one committee in MORE that I have tried to be fairly active on. How nice to have all these young whippersnappers doing all the work while old folk like me rest.
Let me know if you will distribute the newsletter in your school. The only way to beat the Unity machine is to get info countering their propaganda with info of our own, not just every 3 years in the election cycle, but on a regular basis. I've been pushing for this type of initiative for a long time and how nice to see it become reality -- thanks to the great MORE newsletter committee: Brian Jones, Don Doyle, Megan Behrent and Bill Linville. (And how great as an ICEer to be working with TJCer Megan -- so far the synergy of putting lots of smart people from different groups together in MORE is working).
... help distribute the new MORE Newsletter to your colleagues!

Most teachers, students, and parents agree that the city's new teacher
evaluation system is a misguided attempt to distract New Yorkers from
the real challenges faced by our schools and students. But what's a teacher to do?
Take Action - Share the video and sign the petition for a moratorium on the new evaluations system
