PSAT for 1-29-13: Solidarity with Garfield teachers – and our new petition

by admin

Tomorrow, WEDNESDAY, January 30 is a national call/phone/fax day to tell Seattle Public Schools that you, your organization and your union stand with the Garfield test boycotters. Send your message to Seattle Schools Superintendant José Banda:

• Phone: (206) 252-0180
• Fax: (206) 252-0209
• E-mail: superintendent@seattleschools.org

Here’s the letter Parents Across America/PAA-Seattle wrote in solidarity with the teachers.
Take some time today to listen to PAA’s testing webinar from Sunday Jan. 29 which featured Garfield teacher Sarah Johnson along with FairTest’s Monty Neill and national testing opt-out leaders Tim Slekar and  Shaun Johnson.
Looking ahead, the following Wednesday, February 6, has been called as a national day of solidarity for the Garfield teachers. More than a Score has chosen that day for a Chicago citywide testing petition day. Details and resources for petition passers are here. Please add your school to the list of locations for the Feb. 6 petition day.
