    Public Meeting Notice Public Meeting Notice Testimonials from those pushed out and shut out An update on Gulino vs BOE (lawsuit against the NYS LAST exam) What we can do now Saturday, January 25, 2014 3-5 PM The Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew's Parish Hall 520 Clinton Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238 A 42% decline in the number of new Black and Latino teachers hired to teach in NYC public schools since 2002 is movement in the wrong direction. The DOE hires graduates from private universities over those from CUNY and SUNY. A NYS teacher certification exam is not validated yet disproportionately excludes Black and Latino applicants. Over 100 public schools have been closed in NYC’s Black and Latino communities. Mayoral control over the DOE with its $25 billion yearly budget shuts out the voices and accountability to parents - over 80% of whom are Black, Latino and Asian. Privately run charter schools are given a free ride to crowd existing public schools and to divide parents against parents. The absence of DOE or mayoral oversight or direction to monitor and promote diversity in the teaching staff provides a cover for growing indifference and hostility to demands for equity. “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.” The undermining of teacher tenure, seniority and due process disproportionately impacts Black and Latino teachers, denigrates the teaching profession, inhibits student advocacy and contributes to chaos and demoralization in our public schools. The disappearing of Black and Latino educators removes the most consistent advocates for a historically accurate, culturally relevant and inclusive curriculum. Join with educators, parents and community leaders to stop and reverse the disappearing of Black and Latino educators. Let’s organize for a real change at Tweed and City Hall.
