More Info: Please join me on Monday morning, November 15th, to speak out FOR a new Education Chancellor who knows education and AGAINST the secret and rushed "corporate model" appointment by Mayor Bloomberg.

The message is simple: We want the New York State Board of Regents to deny nominee Cathleen Black the waiver of education credentials that she needs to formally fill the position of Chancellor.

The state of New York City's education sys...tem requires that an educator be at the helm. New York City has talented and experienced people who can do the job ... and better than Chancellor Klein did. (The fact that thousands of parents have their children on waiting lists for charter schools after eight years of Klein's work is NOT a vote of confidence in his legacy!)

I will serve as the MC for the Press Conference and I am inviting parent representatives, in particular, to come and speak out. All others are welcome as well. Please keep your remarks short and, preferably, bring some printed copies for the press.

If you need to speak with me about the event, please leave a message at 646-450-3552 or through chris@owensforchange.com.

I hope you will be there! We need your voice!
