Project Description
Opt-Out of the ISAT Rally andMarch
Parents, Students, Educators, and Communities Unite! Rally at the Statehouse in Trenton.
Action Now parent leaders like Zerlina Smith, who helped organize the massive opt-out at Saucedo Elementary, have decided to hold a march from DePriest to the closed Emmet Elementary building to show how standardized testing has led to school closings in our communities.
We also want to highlight African-American parents, teachers and communities that are fighting back against high-stakes standardized tests that disproportionately harm low-income students of color. We want it to be known and acknowledged…
Begin the March at:
DePriest Elementary School
139 S Parkside Avenue
Chicago, IL 60644
Date: March 13, 2014
Time: 3:00 PM Central Daylight Time
