Sacramento Press: Joined by Russlynn Ali, assistant secretary for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education, Mayor Kevin Johnson called for everyone – parents, teachers, community members, union members and students – to work toward making Sacramento one of the finest public education systems in the nation at his first monthly 'State of the Schools' meeting at Oak Park’s Guild Theater on Monday night.
To make the goal a reality, Johnson called for supporters to sign onto a new educational nonprofit called Stand Up, which he stated will focus on five key pillars of great school systems: accountability, parent engagement, human capital, high-quality school choices and effective policy.
