Wondering if RBJ would open up the debate "free" to the public if there were 
enough requests and pressure.  $45 is a steep amount for many of us regardless 
of race or income!!  Hey, RBJ could supply the coffee; skip the breakfast--we 
can all bring our own.

This event is representative of the oppression and exclusion that exists in the 
Rochester community.  Imagine an event like this that is intended to 'inform' 
on both sides of the issue that systematically excludes the people being 
affected.  Poor people of color are on the cusp of having their rights stripped 
from them yet they will not be able to attend as it will cost $45 to get in the 
door.  No "power breakfasts" for the city poor, just power politics.

RBJ event to focus on proposal for city schools

Rochester Business Journal
February 19, 2010
Proponents and critics of a plan for city government to assume control of the 
Rochester City School District will meet with experts on mayoral control for a 
panel discussion in March.
The Rochester Business Journal Power Breakfast event, The Pros and Cons of 
Mayoral Accountability for the Rochester City School District , is scheduled 
for March 23 at the Rochester Plaza Hotel from 7:30 to 10 a.m.
The change in governance was proposed by Rochester Mayor Robert Duffy in 
January. He outlined a five-year plan to return to neighborhood schools and 
raise the graduation rate. Duffy will take part in the event March 23.
The Rochester Business Journal has assembled a panel of national and 
educational leaders to share their views on the issue and answer questions.
The panel is to include Kenneth Wong, chairman of the education department at 
Brown University and author of "The Education Mayor." The book looked at 
mayoral control of urban school districts, showing that the system can increase 
accountability and strengthen the educational system, though it is not 
appropriate for every district.
Wong also holds a joint appointment at the Annenberg Institute for School 
Reform and directs a 12-month program in urban education policy.
The panel also will include Dennis Walcott, deputy mayor for educational and 
community development for New York City . Walcott oversees and coordinates the 
city's Department of Education and also serves as liaison with community-based 
groups and helps coordinate policies for youth programs and adult education. 
New York City has mayoral control of its schools.
Margaret Raymond, director of the Center for Research on Education Outcomes at 
Stanford University , will participate as well. The center analyzes education 
reform efforts around the country and was launched at the University of 
Rochester before moving to Stanford in 2000. A nationally recognized authority 
on education reform, Raymond is researching the effectiveness of charter 
schools, efforts to turn around low-performing schools and the achievement gap.
Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association, also will 
participate. Urbanski has been critical of the proposal, saying it disregards 
the will of parents and the community and will bring less money to city 
schools. In addition to his role with the RTA, Urbanski is vice president of 
the American Federation of Teachers.
Van White, a member of the city school board and critic of the mayor's plan, 
has been invited to be on the panel as well.
Tickets for the conference are $45 per person or $360 for a table of eight.
