We Support Public Control of Public Schools Resolution of the Meeting on Corporate School “Reform” and a Public Vision for Public Education Saturday, November 15, 2014, Buffalo, New York The participants of the November 15 forum on a Public Vision for Public Education express our support for the teachers, parents, students, staff and administrators opposing the efforts to privatize Buffalo public schools and turn them over to private charter school interests, including handing over public school buildings and space for free. We represent teachers, parents, students and community members from Buffalo and surrounding school districts and we stand together for public control of public schools. It is the public that needs to decide how best to raise the quality of our public schools and ensure the equal right to education for all. We teachers, parents and students are the experts in the field of education and we refuse to be excluded or silenced. We call for public debate and discussion on the need for public control of public schools and challenge those calling for privatization to such debate. We stand united in defending the right to education, opposing all attacks taking place on our public schools and supporting the teachers, parents, students and community members standing up for rights. We will continue to conduct public forums and debate opposing the corporate agenda and elaborating our vision for public education.
