What Great Public High Schools Can Do and More!

A very important read from the Network for Public Education.

Dear Michael, On March 21 at 7:00 pm EST, Diane Ravitch and our great friend, Kevin Welner of the National Education Policy Center (NEPC) will speak with two Nebraskans, University of Nebraska Professor Edmund T. Hamann and Lincoln High School principal Mark Larson, about the extraordinary things that public high schools can accomplish when they are dedicated to becoming a school of opportunity. They will also discuss the threats to public education that are happening right now in a state that presently does not have vouchers or charter schools. This is a conversation you will not want to miss.  To attend via Zoom please join us click with a here. Biden Budget Increases Education Funding…but Not for the Federal Charter School Programs. Thanks to YOUR advocacy, the Biden Administration is holding the line on CSP funding. The charter school lobby is furious and is pressuring Congress to increase the amount. Let your representatives know that you do NOT want to see CSP funding increased. In fact, you would like a moratorium. This is an updated email, so even if you have sent one you can send it again.
