1) Meeting and Protest Schedule Changes
Latino parents and supporters have held protests at the past seven board of education meetings, even on two occasions when the meetings were cancelled by the board. This Tuesday would have been the eighth meeting, but it has been cancelled. That is right, three of the eight meetings this school year so far (37%) have been cancelled!
There will be a special meeting Monday Jan 5th at which the board will receive Open Meeting Law training as mandated by NYSED following the recommendation of the fiscal monitor. There will be a silent protest at that meeting. The new schedule for the rest of January is:
Monday, January 5 at 7:00 PM
Silent Protest at Freedom of Information Law Workshop
Tuesday, January 13 at 7:00 PM
Protest Rally immediately preceding 7:30 Board Meeting
Tuesday, January 20 at 7:00 PM
Protest Rally immediately preceding 7:30 Board Meeting
All will be at the District Administration Building, 105 S. Madison Ave, Spring Valley NY
