I’d like to invite everyone in the DC area to join Democrats for Education Reform in a happy hour fundraiser THIS Friday to honor Michelle Rhee and her staff. Rhee will be there with her staff to meet and greet everyone who supports her efforts to overhaul the status quo of the DC public school system. As many of you know, the DC public school system trails the nation in just about every measurable standard, yet has some of the highest per pupil spending in the country (~$13K/student). We are excited to finally have someone like Rhee who is standing up to the entrenched special interests that have resisted reform for so long. Here are the event details:
May 8th, from 6 to 8 PM
Local 16 (corner of U and 16 Streets, NW)
$15 per person
Space is running out but you can guarantee entry by buying your ticket here: http://www.dfer.org/events/RheeinDC
We’re also planning an event in June with Senator Bennett, Colorado’s freshman Senator who is leading the charge for education reform in the Senate, so check back soon for more information about that.
