Wow…will spread this far and wide. Thanks for posting. Malloy…don’t show up.
Thanks so much for the information. What an opportunity to see and hear all these great forces in/for public education. I’ll be there as it’s 20 minutes from my house. Tom Scarice is my teacher daughter’s superintendent. He is wonderful!
I’ll be there, that’s my superintendent (Tom Scarice) and I am super impressed with his bravery to stand against this current reform agenda that is WRONG.
