Folks just a reminder about Saturday's training and listening circle (details below).  We've received some great questions about the DCPS budget process but if you have anymore feel free to forward them to me, thanks!

Hello everyone,

 

Don't forget that this Saturday the 1st of February is our DCPS School Budget Training and first installment of the Grassroots Voices Listening Projects.  

 

The first half of the meeting we will be joined by Soumya  Bhat of the DC Fiscal Policy Institute who will share info on what to expect during the upcoming DCPS (DC Public Schools) budget season, including tips for advocacy.  If you have any questions about the DCPS budget process feel free to respond to this email with any questions you may have.  This is a timely meeting as the Council's Performance Oversight Hearings begin in February (I am attaching a list of all the education related hearings).

 

The second half of the meeting will be the first installment of our -- done in conjunction with the Washington Teachers Union -- listening circles to document the impact of education policy on families and communities. If you have been impacted by top-down education reform, please join us we need to hear your voice.  Cities from around the country are holding these listening projects and your story will be recorded and included in a national report used for local and national organizing efforts.
