Join MORE Monday to Protest School Closings at the PEP
James Eterno is reporting on the ICE blog that the UFT does not seem to be organizing around the closing school PEP meeting, holding its regular Executive Board meeting instead. (MORE WILL PROTEST & ATTEND MONDAY' S SCHOOL CLOSING PEP; UFT EXECUTIVE BOARD APPARENTLY HAS MORE IMPORTANT BUSINESS!) James knows from closing schools.
Maybe the entire UFT board -- including the 8 New Action members, will grab their dinner and head on over to Brooklyn Tech munching on their dinner roles.
But maybe not.
In Chicago, Karen Lewis (the keynote speaker at the NYCORE conference next Saturday) issued a call to all Chicago teachers to attend these closing school hearings and meetings even it their protest falls on deaf ears as a way to build public support for growing the resistance. (School Closings: Chicago Union Mobilizes Entire Teaching Corps) where she urges every Chicago teacher to pledge to attend a closing school hearing.
