“Protect Our Schools” event. 
The concept is simple and the benefit huge: gather stakeholders at participating schools to join hands in a symbolic gesture of protection. The need to protect our schools has never been more urgent. GovernorCuomo continues to paint public schools and teachers in a negative light in an attempt to centralize power and strip away local control all while failing to provide adequate and fair funding. As we know, local schools are under threat due to excessive testing, teacher evaluations tied to test scores, lack of funding, charter school expansion, privatization, school closings, and state takeover of our schools are some of the many concerns shared by stakeholders. - See more at: http://www.nysape.org/protect-our-schools-campaign.html#sthash.w1YmpMyD.dp
