PARENTS, LEADERS IN BLACK COMMUNITY SAY
PEEBLES' JOB SHOULDN'T BE ON THE LINE
A group of concerned parents and leaders in the North Minneapolis
community will hold a press conference at 5:15 p.m. Monday, June 13 at
the Minneapolis Urban League to say that Thandiwe Peebles' future as
Minneapolis School Superintendent should not be in doubt.
"We believe it's irresponsible to talk about firing," State Rep. Keith
Ellison said. "Superintendent Peebles should be judged on her
performance and she should be given more than a year. Considering the
success Minneapolis students have demonstrated this year, we believe
recent actions by the Minneapolis school board are premature."
The press conference will be held at the Minneapolis Urban League
offices at 2100 Plymouth Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55411. For information
on the press conference, contact Representative Ellison at (651)
296-8659 or (612) 229-6484.
