Has anyone been able to speak out on the local news? My friend is a reporter for Channel 8. Perhaps if there was some sort of meeting, he would be able to cover it.

It is being vetted. Hopefully the participation will be robust.

Maybe they will? I think there would be a lot of recognition and public notice of a letter or statement from College Professors and Education Depts coming out against mayoral control. It would be nice to hear from Principals and Teachers but I realize that's potentially risky for them. maeve On Mar 3, 2010, at 7:57 AM, William Cala wrote: In today's D and C. the following letter appeared. Perhaps more poignant that the content (albeit significant) is the author of the letter. Democrat and Chronicle 3-3-10 Don't follow the D.C. schools model I do not seek to enter into the debate over Rochester Mayor Robert Duffy's effort to take over Rochester public schools. However, the Rochester Area Colleges, a consortium of Rochester public and private universities, colleges and community colleges, which supports the mayoral takeover, has used the mayoral takeover of Washington, D.C., public schools as a model of success. This is where I must speak out. Mayoral takeover of Washington, D.C., public schools has not proven to be highly successful. This group of presidents and others who support Mayor Duffy's plan do a great disservice to the people of Rochester if the Washington, D.C., model is used. —ROBERT VINSON BRANNUM WASHINGTON, D.C.
