I plan to testify against the proposed charter school in Worcester…
What does the state need to hear from me?
If you are a student:
The state needs to hear of
the choices you have available to you in the Worcester Public Schools; of the
partnerships your school has with museums and other cultural institutions in
the city; of how your academic differences are supported in your school; of how
you as a learner and as a person have grown in your experience with the
district.
If you are a parent or caregiver:
The state needs to hear of
the different choices available to your family within the Worcester Public
Schools; of how your student’s different learning needs have been met by the
public school system; of the experiences your family has had with Worcester’s
cultural institutions through the school system; of how your family has been
supported through the district; of how your students have succeeded through and
beyond the Worcester Public Schools.
If you are an educator:
The state needs to hear of
how your school and our district meet the needs of diverse learners; of
innovation that is ongoing within the district; of the high quality teaching
and learning that is happening in the Worcester Public Schools; of the ways in
which there are ongoing efforts to make our curriculum more culturally
responsive; of the social-emotional and multi-tier system of supports for
students; of the rich community partnerships that your school has; of the
ongoing work to improve the work we do for our students.
If you are a community member:
The state needs to hear of how the district is moving forward under new leadership that is focused on building relationships with families, educators, and the community; of the strong array of options available to families in Worcester for public education; of the lacks of connection and experience with needs of students, families, and the city demonstrated by the proponents; of the extractive nature of the proposal.
Join us for public testimony:
Friday, December 9
4 pm
Herbert Auditorium, Suprenant Building
Quinsigamond Community College
