Ask the DOE to comply with C4E law and reduce class size now
Dear Folks,
It is that time of year again — when DOE submits a totally inadequate Contracts for Excellence plan, which does little or nothing to reduce class size or move our schools forward.
For the first time since the C4E law passed in 2007, I am not urging parents to attend the borough hearings, since there is no evidence that DOE takes the comments of those who show up in person any more seriously than those who submit comments through email. If you really want to attend a borough hearing, there is one remaining in Brooklyn on August 1, 2016 at the Wingate Campus at 7 PM; more info here.
I instead urge you to send a letter to the DOE, the Commissioner, and the Regents about the fact that NYC students are still being denied their constitutional right to smaller classes and the myriad ways DOE is defying the law. A handy letter you can send, edit and/or add details of your own children’s experience is posted on the Action Network site here.
The deadline for comment is August 19th and comments can also be submitted by sending e-mails to [email protected].
More information about the C4E program provided by the DOE is here: http://schools.nyc.gov/AboutUs/funding/c4e/201617ContractsforExcellence.htm
Thanks,
