There is no summer break when it comes to fighting for the education of our
kids. Stand with parents, students and community leaders from around the
country and make your voice heard on Capitol Hill. *Communities for
Excellent Public Schools (CEPS)* is a coalition of community-based
organizations from around the country that represent parents and students in
low-income communities.  The Obama Administration has released its Blue
Print for Reform (http://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/blueprint/index.html.
and Congress is working on reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA) commonly known as No Child Left Behind. CEPS is
organized to make sure that parents, students and communities have a voice
in the public debate about reauthorization of ESEA and federal policies that
affect our children and schools.

*Space for this event is limited. Acceptances ONLY, on a “first-come” basis,
with subject line "RSVP: July 28 Launch Event” to [email-masked] or
