So glad you posted this and educators a...Hey Norm! <br />So glad you posted this and educators are being made aware of the coming sunset for Mayoral Control. <br /><br />I'm writing about a new Coalition, asking you to sign our petition and consider joining me and others in growing The Coalition to FINALLY END Mayoral Control 2022. The Coalition's petition to the State Assembly is to demand they allow community testimony at the public hearing on Mayoral Control on December 17th. (Right now testimony is by invitation only.) The petition can be found at: http://chng.it/Kr2cqNHJ. <br /><br />Given the racist state of America, our unapologetic Black & anti-racist chorus to educate about— and subsequently replace— the 2002 MC law has greater importance than ever before. There's a need to enlighten today's activists on what this law has done to school communities of color over the last 18 years, and I pray we act in unity to envision a new, human rights-based system of school governance for our city. The Coalition is using Sankofa as our theory of change for this inclusive movement-work, and I hope your followers will see the need to get involved with us and share their knowledge and ideas. (FYI: Sankofa = "Connecting the past with the present allows us to be more effective agents in shaping our understanding of the forces that will have an impact on our collective future as citizens of the planet. We all share the responsibility for defining the terms by which we live.") <br /><br />Folks are invited to learn who are are, and join The Coalition by sending an email to: FEMC2022@gmail.com <br /><br />Sending best regards to you and Mrs. Scott to stay well & stay strong! <br />Thanks for all you do. <br />Respectfully, <br />- Benita Rivera Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957254187172700364noreply@blogger.com
