Time out from contract vote reporting for a word for a worthy cause.
OK. It's time to ante up for Leonie and the great work she does in all our interests. And to support the awardees - the great Patrick Sullivan who single-handedly fought the evil forces in all his years on the PEP. And to honor great principals everyone wishes they could work for - Carol Burris and Liz Phillips.
If you are going stop by and say hello - I'll be sitting with Change the Stakers and any MOREistas who show.
Our honorees this year are Liz Phillips, principal of PS 321 in Brooklyn, Carol Burris, principal of South Side HS on Long Island, and Patrick Sullivan, former Manhattan representative to the Panel for Education Policy.
Liz and Carol are leaders in one of the most exciting developments of this or any year --principals who are speaking out against the high-stakes and low quality of the NY State exams.
Patrick stood up for NYC parents and consistently challenged the DOE to justify their damaging policies during the Bloomberg years. Diane Ravitch will be there as well, our Superwoman, fighting to protect and strengthen public education and against the forces of corporate reform.
If you cannot attend, please donate to our organization if you would like to support our work on student privacy, parent rights, and class size, or simply to honor these three heroes who have courageously spoken out, when others remained silent.
Our annual dinner is always one of the most enjoyable evenings of the year, and one that you will not want to miss. And this year, with the demise of inBloom, we have something special to celebrate.
Thanks, Leonie Haimson
