Other groups are issuing press releases. This is a collective voice of which
the Regional School is one.

I'd keep the Regional School out of it, but is there another group/groups that
could issue a press release on this? CCSE or some other group?

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. More information is available at go.rbj.net/education
