Organize to Resist High-Stakes Testing

Join other MTA members and community activists from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 27 at the MTA headquarters in Quincy, 2 Heritage Drive, 1st Floor. Learn about and share ideas with other MTA members about organizing strategies in the fight against high-stakes testing. We will hear from:

• Deb McCarthy, president of Hull Teachers Association, who is seeking conscientious objector status regarding administration of tests
• MTA members and parents who are or will be opting their children out of testing
• MTA members and Citizens for Public Schools, which will be organizing forums to engage parents and the community around the testing issue

This meeting is the fifth meeting with a focus on planning for the fall and next year. All are welcome, from PreK- 12 to Higher Education colleagues who want to support these efforts and/or opt their children out of high stakes testing.
