Please join us in the effort to
Reclaim, Restore and Renew public education. It is time to Rise
up and demand the Rescission of the vote to close seven neighborhood
schools.
On the occasion of his recent
birthday anniversary, Cesar Chavez's son-in-law and current UFW president
shared: "... To give true meaning to his life and work, we — you and I —
must be directly involved in the issues that affect us and give life to his values
by being of service to others." http://www.ufw.org/
In Sacramento, neighborhood
communities are challenging SCUSD’s unequal treatment of their schools, the
unsafe proposals to displace over 2,200 students this year and more in the
coming years and the ongoing violations of the civil rights of parents and
children to a quality education in a neighborhood public school.
Our neighborhoods deserve
better than a 4-3 vote to close only Hispanic plurality schools.
The board majority must show
our children the strength of character to rescind their vote. A thoughtful and
deliberate process is needed to answer the many questions that have been asked
by those who will be impacted. A new process is needed to intelligently design
a district that truly is sized for all our children.
