Panther Friends: Please try to get letter to Commissioner Williams by Friday, May 17, 2013.

<< URGENT UPDATE >>  

I am hearing rumblings that our EMHS sister, The International HS, may be harassed again. I don't have details, yet. But the rumors stink. The IHS is a great asset to us, they do wonderful work and improve lives. And they get little respect from the outsiders that don't understand who they are and what they do. Please include them in your support efforts & prayers. Help KEEP IHS at Eastside.

Hello Eastside Panther Friends, 

VERY Exciting couple of weeks! 

But, We are not quite done. 

All of our work comes down to the up/down decision of TEA Commissioner, Mr. Michael Williams. We should let him know how we feel about the recent RFP process. 

I feel that it was so much better, more open, and inclusive than the plan that was dumped upon our EM vertical team in October 2011. It has been so satisfying to watch the neighborhood come together in hope and confidence for our schools. Fantastic!

The support for the Johns Hopkins plan has been so broad-based and strong, it gives me confidence for the future. And I want to tell him that as soon as possible.  :-) 

You should tell him, too. 

Please try to contact Commissioner Williams by Friday, May 17, 2013.
Tell him you support the new RFP process that chose Johns Hopkins to partner with EMHS.

And any other encouragement that you have to help our Eastside Panthers family.

Mr. Michael Williams

Commissioner 

Texas Education Agency 

1701 N. Congress Avenue, Austin TX  78701 

(512) 463-9734 = main phone number

Also, feel free to contact others that you believe support our Panthers. (Or should be.): 

TX Legislators, media folks, neighborhood groups, etc. Thanks!

And Thank You so much for your steadfast support of our kids.

! PAWS UP !
:-D
