7/29 CA Conf Charters, Privatization, Co-Locations & Fight Back
California Education/Action Conference Charters, Privatization, Co-Locations & Fight Back July 29 (Sunday), 10:00 - 4:00 Location: Finnish Hall - 1970 Chestnut St., Berkeley ($10 - 20 Donation requested - No one turned away due to the lack of funds) For pre-registration, contact: 1carloxT [at] gmail.com The survival of public education is now at stake in California and throughout the country. Trump’s Secretary of Education Betsy Devos is continuing the complete privatization of education with char- ters and destruction of public teacher jobs. The con- ference will look at how the charter industry and the California Charter School Association is breaking up public education through “co-locations” and the rampant fraud, corruption, and scams, with an ex- plosive $6 billion being spent on charters. It will also look at how the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (calSTARS) is threatened by charter schools. Speakers will also look at how Peer Assistance and Review Program (PAR) and other programs are tar- geting senior teachers, African American, and Lati- no teachers through workplace bullying and illegal confidentiality agreements. They will also look at how teachers, parents and students can fight back to protect their schools and futures. Lunch included.
