Here are the new members of the board of NPE Action. This is the board that endorses candidates in political races and engages in educational activity to heighten awareness of the importance of protecting and improving public education for all our children.
Please welcome Sue Legg, Dountonia Batts, and Dan Greenberg!
They are a remarkable threesome, with deep experience in Florida, Indiana, and Ohio.
You can help our work by donating now–any amount, from $1 to $1 million (you could be the first person ever to make a seven-figure donation to NPE Action!).
We are not the plaything of the plutocrats.
We are educators, parents, students, and other citizens fighting against privatization and in favor of great public schools for all!

Congratulations, all. Thank you.
My only recommendation—as one who has worked with board members of various talents, strengths, weaknesses, hypocrisies, and ideals—is to be real board members. Don’t go along to get along, don’t be afraid of rocking the boat, DO speak up for what you deeply believe in. That doesn’t mean to be contrarian for contrarian’s sake. It means standing up for what is done correctly and with passion, oppose and point out issues where you believe the mission of NPE will be compromised.
The Board which was excellent before is even better now. I’m glad these 3 people will be working for democracy which has its foundation in public education.
