I’ll be sending you occasional notices to remind you that the end of the pandemic means the return of the annual conference of the Network for Public Education. This will be your opportunity to make connections with friends and allies fighting for public schools across the nation. Join us!
Our Network for Public Education Action conference will be an in-person conference on October 23 and 24 in Philadelphia.It will be terrific. So much has happened in the world since the 2020 conference was canceled due to Covid-19.
We will have wonderful keynote speakers including Little Steven, Jitu Brown, and Noliwe Rooks.
We will have panels that include stopping school privatization, lifting up community schools, creating inclusive schools free of systemic racism and valuing democracy in schools. That is just a sample. The full schedule will emerge soon.
Best of all, we will be together in a beautiful hotel in the City of Brotherly Love.
The conference theme is Neighborhood Schools: The Heart of our Community. As we emerge from a year of isolation, that theme is more important than ever.
If you registered for the 2020 conference and did not request a refund, you are registered for the conference but be sure to register for the hotel.
The discounted rooms are going fast.https://book.passkey.com/gt/218126437?gtid=3b2e4f0403f2a2b9544e40207d650ccb
If you did not register for the 2020 conference, don’t wait. We have only about 50 spots left.

We need each other and NPE needs all of us to adovocate for public education.
See you in October!
Thanks to NPE for hosting the event. It will be a good occasion to toast

Wow! Go Diane.
Love the Conference Theme.
Love the Conference Theme.
Thanks to NPE for its latest letter writing campaign about use of federal taxes for for-profit schools.
NPE’s report on for-profit charters was referred to by House Appropriations Committee, which endorsed a ban on federal funding for for-profits
Great work!
