Ravitch Encourages Louisiana Educators & Defenders

Diane Ravitch honored our blog today along with several other Louisiana blogs and individuals who are true supporters of public education in Louisiana. She recommended our Defenders of Public Education data base. I want to take this opportunity to ask each of my readers who are voters in Louisiana to sign up for this group. Here are the details you need to know:
  • The Defenders of Public Education is a Louisiana group of public edcuation volunteers; teachers, administrators and parents set up in a data base organized into sub groups according to their own home legislators. 
  • The Defenders receive timely emails on critical education issues as they are coming up in the legislature so that we may each express our opinions on the issue to our particular legislators.
  • These communications to Defenders are done with consultation with the Coalition for Louisiana Public Education which is composed of the two teacher unions (LAE and LFT) the School Boards Association,
