Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the environmental justice movement to the trial of the Jena 6 – young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what today’s youth have to say about the question, “What does equality mean to you?†To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.
In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.
The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws – remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues. NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, “What does equality mean to you?†Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways – by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. Please contact NCRCR at [email removed].
We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.
Many thanks,

The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is a non-partisan movement working to ensure that our courts protect and preserve equal justice, fairness, and opportunity. We achieve these goals through raising awareness, outreach, and building alliances. Recognizing how little information about the status of civil rights in the courts is reaching people across the country, NCRCR is focusing on public education and outreach, finding ways to get the message out about the impact of court rulings on our neighborhoods, our schools, our opportunities and our rights.
Are there any secondary math teacher jobs in the northeast Cleveland/Mentor area? I have taught below average Algebra through Calculus. I am currently teaching in the state of Delaware but am hesitant to quit my job. I have looked on the Ohio website but there seems to be very limited openings. Are there better to search for jobs?

Does anyone have any insights into what it is like working at a charter school? I have an interview with one next week.

Dale Price, candidate for the State Teachers Retirement System Board, was the first to qualify for the ballot after collected hundreds of signatures from teachers across Ohio. Price is trained in pension issues and is committed to representing the interests of his fellow teachers as a member of the retirement board.
“I am dedicated to protecting our pensions and retiree health care. I am traveling the state talking with teachers to ask that they vote for me, Dale Price, for the STRS Board,” he said.
“Teachers want to know that smart, passionate people are making the right decisions about their retirement investments. As an active teacher myself, I share their concerns,” Price said.
Price is keenly focused on the critical role STRS Board members play in protecting our pensions and health care for retirees. To strengthen his qualifications to serve on the board, Dale Price has been attending STRS Board meetings to observe debate over current issues.
“Teachers want to be able to decide when is the right time to retire. We need to know that our retirement investments are being managed in a way that will allow us to make the right decision,” Price said.
“It is extremely important, especially in these economic times, that STRS Board members have a deep understanding of how pensions work so they can act to preserve our investments. I am that candidate,” Price said.
Price recently participated in a national training conference for union representatives who serve on pension boards hosted by AFT. Included in the conference were seminars from representatives of the National Public Pension Coalition, National Institute on Retirement Security, AFL-CIO, and AFT.
Price is endorsed by the Ohio Federation of Teachers and the Akron Education Association.
“Dale Price is well versed in the forces that threaten our pensions,” said OFT President Sue Taylor.
Price has spent most of his 27-year teaching career in Toledo Public Schools. He is a graduate of Akron Public Schools.
Price is the only full-time mathematics teacher in Toledo’s innovative manufacturing engineering program. Toledo Technology Academy High School has a rigorous curriculum and an engineering focus. In addition to teaching math courses from algebra to pre-calculus, Dale Price utilized his journalism background to create the yearbook at Toledo Technology Academy and was the longtime advisor of the student newspaper at Toledo’s Woodward High School.
“His skills as a math teacher will make him a strong member of the STRS Board when it comes to digesting actuarial reports and understanding the best investment strategies. His journalism background serves him equally well as Dale Price is a confident, assertive communicator,” she said. “Dale Price is by far the right candidate to represent OFT members on the STRS Board.”
STRS will mail ballots to teachers starting April 1. Teachers may vote for Dale Price by mail, phone or online. All votes must be received by STRS by May 3, so those who plan to mail their ballots should do so a week or more before the deadline.
For more information about the Dale Price for STRS campaign, find Dale Price on Facebook at Dale Price STRS.
I think we should inundate him with postcards that simply say: "Our district's snow day count this year (so far) is ___." Guess how we're feeling about the grand plan to reduce snow days to 3 next year?"
(We have used 10 days, and I can only guess we're looking at days 11, 12, and possibly 13 this week. Blasted rural roads.)
I am moving to Ohio soon and have questions about benefits. I teach in Georgia now and pay 230 for a family health ins plan, 60 for dental, 215 to the retirement system, 50 for disability and 40 for teacher association dues. What can I expect to pay for these same benefits in NE Ohio?
