Co-sponsored by Class Size Matters, NYC Kids PAC and Community Education Council District 2, this year's Parent Action Conference will feature:

• A panel of State legislators who will answer parents' questions and respond to our concerns

Workshops on the following topics:

• Special education (a session in English and another in Spanish)
• High-stakes testing
• Charter schools and the need for more accountability
• Class size and school overcrowding
• School integration
• Student privacy
• Civic engagement and how to run for office.

Lunch

• In the afternoon, we will show the documentary Tested that follows NYC public middle school students as they try to get into a specialized high school.

Together, let's create an Education Action Agenda for 2019!
When you reserve your ticket, a suggested donation of $10 will help us cover the costs of lunch and the film, but you can contribute any amount. If you'd like a free ticket, please email us at info@classsizematters.org

In the morning we will be presenting our ambitious state agenda to a panel of legislators.
