I had the opportunity to work with them as well, though in a smaller capacity, back in 2003-2006 as district representative of the Bronx high schools. They really cared about the schools in their communities and sought change in a way that was inspirational. Sad to note that today's DOE seems so impervious to voices of the community.Lynne Winderbaumnoreply@blogger.com
