Good evening,

 

In advance of tomorrow’s Education Cluster performance oversight hearing, I have attached an updated witness list.

 

We currently have 228 witnesses testifying. Witnesses are organized based on the organization they are testifying for/with, and teachers and students were moved closer to the end of the list in order to not disrupt the school day and afterschool activities. Please note your place on the witness list and please track the hearing via your zoom log-in to anticipate when you will be called to testify.

 

If you have not yet submitted your testimony, please do so as soon as possible. This will give Councilmembers an opportunity to review your testimony in advance of the hearing.

 

Please reach out if you have questions.

 

Best,

LeKisha

 

 

CORRECTION: Please note that this hearing will begin tomorrow at 9:30AM (not 9:00) tomorrow, March 1. We look forward to receiving your testimony in advance.

 

Thank you,

LeKisha Jordan
