Time for the School District to Clean Up Its Act! Students Wash Windows in a Call for Transparency

by Philadelphia Student Union | 04.22.2008

Time and Location: 4 pm, Thursday, April 24, 440 N. Broad St.

Stand with Philadelphia Student Union, parents and community members to demand that the School District be more transparent and accountable. Students will be washing the School District's windows and calling for full public disclosure and more input on the School District's budget, outside contracts, and Educational Management Organization (EMO) negotiations and evaluations.
Come out, get your hands wet, and join the fight for a cleaner school district!

Audio Call To Action, produced by Dan Jones & Candace Carter: Here
