Dear
Act4Education Member:
Our
first event at the Geffen Playhouse
on February 12th was a resounding success. Thanks to turn
out by over 350 parents and community members it is clear
to the School Board, LAUSD, the mayor's office, principals
and teachers of our schools that our community is interested
and engaged in excellence in public education.
We are building on that momentum currently:
1.
Our power is in our numbers! Since we have opened our website we have had
over 5,000 hits, with almost 1,000 community members enrolling.
Our goal is to build our database to 2,000 members by May
1st.
On April 15th, we will sponsor "Act4Education Sunday."
On this day, volunteers will go out into their communities
to increase our membership. Increased membership ensures
that we are able to drive the necessary transformation to
improve our local middle schools and high schools. Let us
know if you want to volunteer
for this event.
2. The Principal search. We continue to
meet with community stakeholders and educators to identify
the best candidates for Emerson's next principal. The principal
search process will formally begin in July, 2007.
3. Strategies for change. We are meeting
with Emerson and Webster leadership and parents to identify
ways in which we can jump start the transformation so desperately
needed in our schools, today.
Stay tuned for ways in which you can participate!
4. Your questions answered. We received
many questions during our February 12th meeting at the Geffen
Playhouse. Please go to our website if you are interested
in reviewing our answers.
Regards,
Mitchell Wong
President, Act4Education
