Parent’s Lobby Day: A Job Well Done
On Lobby Day in Albany, March 13, the Chancellor’s Parent Advisory Council (CPAC) took 1,700 parents, students and educators to meet with our city and state representatives. It was a great District 2 effort and a recognizable demonstration of community strength. Issues addressed included: parent empowerment; mayoral control of the schools; class size reduction; English Language Learners; cell phone ban; charter schools; and high-stakes testing.
