ISO Votes to Support Parent and Community Coalition for Educational Change

The Rochester district of the International Socialist Organization (ISO) voted unanimously on February 24th to endorse, support, and participate in the Parent and Community Coalition for Educational Change.

The ISO stands resolute with the teachers of the Rochester City School District in their no-confidence vote against Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard. Brizard holds company with the embarrassments Cathie Black, Michelle Rhee, and Joel Klein as executors of the defunding of public education, the institution to which all working Rochester families have a right.

The ISO stands resolute against newly-elected Governer Cuomo and his intent to balance state budget deficits on the backs of working Rochesterarians, parents and teachers alike. No cuts to public education.

The ISO calls on all parents and teachers to attend the Rochester Communitywide Education Summit, March 11 at East High and March 12 at the Rochester Plaza Hotel. Our community will not be able to withstand the attacks against it unless we organize; Madison, WI leads the way.
