Bill De Blasio sent a reminder email to me about a forum he is hosting Thursday night at St. Francis College to bring together members of the community to strategize about stopping the Department Of Education (DOE) school budget cuts.

There will be many different groups at the event- including constituents, members of the Community Education Councils (CEC), PTA and other education leaders.

This event is an opportunity to for community members to:

1. Hear from teachers, parents, advocates, and union leaders about how these sudden cuts will affect our schools

2. Learn how to be a leader in your school and district to champion support for resolutions to reverse these cuts NOW

3. Discuss concerns and ideas with Brooklyn Parent- Teacher Associations (PTA) and Community Education Councils (CEC) about how we can preserve our children’s education and reverse the budget cuts together.

Here are the ‘tails:

When: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM, Thursday, March 13th

Where: St. Francis College, Callahan Center, 180 Remsen Street, 1st Floor (Between Court and Clinton Streets), Brooklyn, NY
