Definite signing times & dates

Things are locked in stone for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

Tuesday (5/3), we'll be signing at PHS in room 519 from 3-4pm. We've rented the room for an hour so we're all on the up and up. After that, Becky Brown and I (Lonnie Dusch) will be heading over to Springdale Elementary to give those folks a chance. Not sure what the exact time frame over there will be.

Wednesday (5/4), then, we'll be at PCMS just after their contract day ends for another hour-long signing. Becky's setting up the locale there.

We're still trying to get definite days/times nailed down at the elementary schools.

We'll also be at the Jazz Band Ice Cream Social (officially we'll be on the public sidewalk before, during, and after the actual performance) on Monday, May 9th. The concert is at 6pm, and we're hoping for good weather.

Come out to any of these times and dates to join us, folks.

More petitions...and music to keep the spirits up

First off, I stopped by the OEA local this afternoon and picked up six more petitions - five more for Hamilton County and one more for Butler. We're still thin on Clermont (only one so far) and entirely empty on Warren.

I also got a whole gallon ziploc full of No On 5 buttons...

...if anybody wants one of those, leave a comment or give an email. If you're at PHS, I'll know where you are. If you're not, include some mention of where I should send the button.

And finally, I offer up a bit of good cheer, fifteen pro-labor songs to lift the spirits.

Petitions, finally!

The first petitions for the PACE For Kids circulators are in the district, finally!

Sadly, Hamilton County is not among the 1st priority counties in Ohio, so we're not getting the vast bulk of petitions that we might have hoped for - at least not yet.

For now, we have seven petitions - five for Hamilton County voters, one for Butler County voters, and one for Clermont County voters. Each petition can hold up to seventy-five signatures from those specific counties.

This means we'll have to be a little judicious about spreading the petitions around. Our hope is that if we can fill these petitions quickly, we'll be able to go back to the OEA local and ask for more petitions.

So, we're going to hit the big spots first - PHS, PCMS, and two of our larger elementary schools, Springdale and Heritage Hill. We'll be at those schools on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 3rd and 4th.

Generic welcoming post

Let me open with a simple hello.

This blog was created by PACE for Kids, a group of educators in the Princeton City School District who will be - in conjunction with parents and students - hoping to see a repeal of Senate Bill 5 placed on the November general election ballot and eventually passed because we believe that this will be best for the students of the Princeton City School District.
