> !!URGENT NYC ACTION ALERT!!
>
> Should NYC schools be sold out to marketers without a public hearing?
>
> Yesterday, May 14, New York newspapers reported that the NYC Board of
> Education is on the verge of signing a deal to find corporate
> advertisers for the city schools. This comes as news to NYC parents,
> teachers, and just about everyone else except for the CEOs and Board
> Members involved. If the deal goes through, expect to see sports
> uniforms, gymnasiums, and buildings emblazoned with ads for Nike,
> Gatorade, and other corporate sponsors.
>
>
> WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP
>
> --> Call School Board President NINFA SEGARRA at (718) 935-3300.
> Let her know your concerns about public process and the commercialism
> of education. Demand that approval of the plan be delayed until the
> document has been released to the public and feedback has been given.
>
>
> --> Join us at the School Board meeting today -- Wednesday, May 15, 6
> p.m. Addressing the Board in public and on the record may be the
> single most effective action that one can take. (Let us know if
> you're coming..)
>
