Rostra Friend Debra O’Toole told us March 14 about a Parent-Led education reform group called VoiceForOurKids.org. She asks our help now by signing this Online Petition protesting an Unfair change in San Diego City Schools graduation requirements. The changes, she writes, will ruin the college-prep plans of many local teenagers and their parents. Please take a moment to click the link, read the reasons, and then add your name to the over-800 who have already signed. Thanks !

Here is their mission statement and their main point of origin:
“We are parents with children who are students in San Diego City Schools. We created this forum as a place to get up-to-date information about issues that impact our children and their education. Teachers and administrators all have strong, powerful voices through their unions. Our children don’t have that luxury, and they cannot be successful if their needs are not a priority.
“We began as a group of PTA and parent organization presidents and board members who worked together on district issues. Finding success, it was only natural to take what we have learned and create a way to communicate with parents throughout the district. We are committed to uniting as one voice, to speak on behalf of our children, to represent their interests. We hope to empower all parents and caregivers within the district to volunteer and get involved in their children’s education.”
