Thank you, Uncommon Excellence Boys Middle School Principal Jermaine Isaac, for your inspiring speech! We marched and raised our voices to let all of NYC know that public charter schools are one of the city's greatest equalizers and need equal funding! #AccessIsEquity

[Uncommon Schools @uncommonschools]

Uncommon & charter schools participated in the #MarchForExcellence. They showed what thousands of charter school families already know: public charter schools are free, open to all, & provide a high-quality education giving every child the chance to succeed. #AccessIsEquity ✊
