Urgent Education & Safety Meeting Dec 18th

Good Evening: Please find information related to a community meeting focused on
the Education & Safety of Philadelphia's Public School Children. As many of you
are aware the School District of Philadelphia has been faced with the serious
challenge of keeping all of its children safe as well as providing a quality
education. The situation with the shooting of a student on a school bus, in West
Philadelphia, and the more recent situation at South Philadelphia High School
has highlighted the challenge faced by the School District, parents, students;
as well as residents of the City of Philadelphia.

Many of us hear and know of negative situations that happen in and outside of
school. Many of us have spoken about what is going on in and outside of our
schools and have talked about the need for us to work together in an effort to
see our children receive a quality education and to be safe at the same time.

Dr. Ackerman has expressed her position that she wants to work with the entire
community in an effort to provide safe schools and a learning environment. The
last few weeks have been stressful on many of us as the Unrest of Students has
lead to Violent Acts that have resulted in serious injury of many students. We
are blessed that nothing worse has happened.

It is because of all the above that you are being requested to attend a City
Wide Education & Safety Meeting; to be held on Dec. 18th at 6pm.(see attachment
for complete details or click here) Dr. Ackerman and members of her staff have
been invited to attend. I ask that you attend and come prepared to discuss
issues and answers related to the education & safety of everyone's children.
Remember that the agenda is about the safety and education of our children and
no other agendas. Thank you for your continued support in the struggle to see
that All Children are Safe, in the home, school and community, and All Children
are Well Educated.

If you have any questions/ideas you can contact me at 267-595-3178.
