Activist becomes Elected Official Monday; Correction: New Educational Lawsuit by prominent Attorney

Power of Ten Update

In this Issue:

  1. East Ramapo Activist to become Spring Valley Trustee Monday
  2. Correction: New Lawsuit filed by Executive Director, not Organization

1) East Ramapo Activist to become Spring Valley Trustee Monday

East Ramapo activist Emilia White will be sworn in as a trustee for the village of Spring Valley on Monday December 2.  There will be a reorganization meeting  at 2:00 PM in Spring Valley Village Hall, 200 N Main St, and a swearing in ceremony at 7:00 PM at the Ramapo Cultural Arts Center, 66 N Main St, Spring Valley. Let’s all come out and wish her success as she continues to fight for justice from her new position.

2) Correction: New Lawsuit filed by Executive Director, not Organization

In the last message, I incorrectly reported that The Teachers College, Columbia University Campaign for Educational Equity (CEE) was filing a lawsuit against New York State. The correct information is that the lawsuit is being filed by Michael Rebell, who is the Executive Director of the Campaign for Educational Equity as an individual. At this point, Teachers College, Columbia University has neither signed onto the lawsuit nor authorized the Campaign for Educational Equity to file a suit.

Mr. Rebell is looking for parents of students who may have been personally deprived by cutbacks to school programs. Please contact Dr. Oscar Cohen if you would like to participate at oscarpcohen@optonline.net
