</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'><FONT FACE="Geneva, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"> Please sign a petition created by New York City public school parents protesting school overcrowding, the mid-year funding cuts, increases in standardized testing, and Mayoral control of the school system without oversight.<BR>
<BR>
The petitions are posted at <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"> www.ipetitions.com/petition/pspac <a href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/pspac"><http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/pspac></a> </FONT> and will be delivered to the New York State legislators in lieu of Albany Lobby Day. We plan to gather as many signatures as possible, and hand-deliver them to the district offices of state legislators who sit on the education committee.<BR>
<BR>
And please help us to disseminate the petition as widely as possible. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your help and feel free to contact us if you have questions.<BR>
