¡¡URGENT NYC ACTION ALERT!!

Should NYC schools be sold out to marketers without a public hearing?

Today, May 14, New York newspapers reported that the NYC Board of Education is on the verge of signing a deal to find corporate advertisers for the city schools. This comes as news to NYC parents, teachers, and just about everyone else except for the CEOs and Board Members involved. If the deal goes through, expect to see sports uniforms, gymnasiums, and buildings emblazoned with ads for Nike, Gatorade, and other corporate sponsors.


WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP

--> Call School Board President NINFA SEGARRA at (718) 935-3300.
Let her know your concerns about public process and the commercialism of education. Demand that approval of the plan be delayed until the document has been released to the public and feedback has been given.

--> Join us at the School Board meeting today -- Wednesday, May 15, 6 p.m. Addressing the Board in public and on the record may be the single most effective action that one can take. (Let us know if you're coming..)


--> Contact Stay Free! at (718) 398-9324 or stay.free AT verizon.net. We desperately need the support of public school parents. Let us know if you'd like to be involved and are willing to help.
