That is my problem--Tom -----Original Message----- From: regional_school-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto: regional_school-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ] On Behalf Of Dan Drmacich Sent: Friday, April 10, 2009 11:14 AM To: Regional School Subject: [regional_school] NYS Education Commissioner petition OK, everyone. We're going to try again with this petition for a NYS Education Commissioner who reflects our values for education reform. The last one didn't quite say everything our New York City colleagues wanted, nor did it include a candidate they also wanted to endorse. Please note that we realize that our list of candidates may not be perfect, but we do believe that it gives supporters of our education reform aganda the best chance reaching our vision of equitable and socially just schools. We ask that you "google" and research the candidates if you need to and hope that you'll eventually sign the petition so that we can deliver it to the Board of Regents and other power brokers who will impact the selection of the new commissioner. I also ask that you send this petition on to any other individuals or groups that you belong to who might support our goals and recommenjded list of candidates. So...please click on the link below for the new petition. Thanks. Dan Drmacich http://appointaneducator.org < http://appointaneducator.org/ >
