Private Privilege, Public Pain - NYCLU 07/18/2024

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY:
The NAACP NYS Conference, in collaboration with The Alliance for Quality Education, the New York Civil Liberties Union, Spring Valley NAACP, and the Education Law Center, supports Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski’s bill A10407 to have more stringent fiscal control measures implemented. We urgently ask your support in encouraging our elected legislators to co-sponsor, and passage of A10407 a bill researched and sponsored by Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski concerning the survival of the East Ramapo Central School District in Rockland County AS WRITTEN.

If you have any question and would like to help, Please contact Oscar Cohen, Education Chair for the NAACP Spring Valley Branch.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Assemblyman Kenneth P. Zebrowski for your consistent leadership over the years. We appreciate the victories you have been able to obtain on behalf of the Rockland County community, the East Ramapo School District and appreciate your caring efforts, sacrifice, in the face of opposition to do the right thing during your tenure, and we wish you the best as you retire from the State Assembly to begin the next part of your journey. You will be missed.

___________________******************________________
The Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court Decision of 1954 declared that “Separate is inherently not equal. “ For the past 12 years, the East Ramapo Central School board has been controlled by board members who have consistently prioritized the interests of private school students at the expense of public-school students with over 96% children of color). This has been well documented in the 2021 NYCLU report "Private Privilege, Public Pain".

_______________________________________________________________________
PLEASE engage with your assembly members, who are currently on vacation and state senators to encourage them to, if necessary, call a special session to pass this bill.
Today it is East Ramapo. Considering the upsurge in more conservative school boards, tomorrow it could be your community.

THIS LATEST CRISIS has resulted in the children having cutting the summer learning programs, services, access buildings for learning, lunch programs or connections to educators. It is uncertain they able to return to school in the Fall, and teachers, administrators are out of work.
Further, special education services have been nonexistent to the thwart their learning further, and administrators and teachers are resigning from the district creating lack of access, overcrowding and a shortage of educators in violation of the Individuals with Disabilities Act and Civil Right to an education.

Private Privilege, Public Pain - NYCLU The East Ramapo Central School District in suburban Rockland County, 40 miles north of New York City, was once home to thriving and diverse public schools that attracted families from surrounding areas. Today, after more than a decade of local malfeasance and mismanagement, and state dereliction, it...
