Eva and Hubby in Last Ditch Land Grab

Leonie sent this one to her listserve:

 

Every parent should reach out to their local and statewide electeds to write letters and collect petition signatures to oppose the proliferation of the Success Academy Charters [6 of them!] and those of Eva’s husband [Citizens of the World Charter School 1 and 2].  See below. 

Eva is trying to jam in as many of her schools in our school buildings as possible and profit off the taxpayers’ expense before the mayor leaves office, just in case the astroturf Rhee group on whose board she sits doesn’t manage to engineer the election in her direction.  Same with her husband.

Send in your comments to charters@suny.edu  before May 21!

• The Institute anticipates making any positive recommendations about these proposals to the SUNY Trustees for consideration at their June 2012 meeting (currently scheduled for June 11-12, 2012).  As a result, comments will be accepted through May 21, 2012.

Subject: FW: what is the timeline for comment on the latest list of applications?

Ms. Haimson:

The best source of information on the new proposals is the Active Proposals page on the Institute’s website at:  http://www.newyorkcharters.org/ActiveProposals.htm.  

This page is also accessed by the home page – under What’s New? – and includes instructions for how to submit comments to SUNY and also includes a quick link to the Public List – a summary table that lists key details and the status of each proposal.

In the Institute’s initial RFP, the timeline for the spring review cycle http://www.newyorkcharters.org/openAppTimeline.htm  indicated that the Institute would make its recommendations to the SUNY Trustees at their May or June 2012 meeting.  The public notices associated with the new proposals indicated the specific date of the May meeting as the earliest date in which the Trustees would consider the proposals: http://www.newyorkcharters.org/documents/NYCPublicSchoolAndNo-PublicSchoolNewSchoolNotice.pdf. 

The Institute has reached a determination this week that any positive recommendations will be brought to the June meeting, currently scheduled for June 11 & 12, 2012: http://www.suny.edu/Board_of_Trustees/meetingschedule.cfm               

We have updated the active proposals page accordingly, noting that we will accept comments through May 21, 2012.
