A.C.T. NOW! is a group of citizens who demand greater Accountability, Communication and Transparency from our School Board and administrators. We are non-partisan (but we are opinionated!), supporting the wise use of fiscal resources while striving for the best possible education for our children.
We act as watchdogs, attending School Board meetings and monitoring the actions of school administrators. We report what we see here, and provide a forum for the community to discuss and debate issues relating to our schools. And if necessary we mobilize our network of activists to write letters and speak at public comment to hold our elected officials and school administrators accountable.
Please look around, and feel free to join the conversation by clicking on the links to the right. We are working to expand our focus with help from community members!
We are looking for new authors to post articles to this community blog. It does not matter what side of an argument you are on. This is an OPEN forum to discuss and debate issues that affect all of us living in Durham, Lee, and Madbury. If you wish to write regularly or just once in a while, please contact us at oysterrivercommunity@gmail.com.
Finally, we are NOT (repeat NOT) affiliated with the Durham Taxpayers Association (DTA) nor the Citizens Exchange (CE). While we respect the viewpoints of both groups, we want to create a more general awareness and report to the public items of interest for debate.
Thanks!
