We’re Improving School Choice & Quality!
Find out more!
The EAC invites you to a community meeting Monday, February 4 at 6:00pm at Orchard Gardens K-8 School, 906 Albany St., Roxbury.
Mayor Menino and thousands of parents have asked us to create a more predictable and fair school choice system. The External Advisory Committee on School Choice is looking at final proposals this month and we want to know what you think.
Superintendent Johnson, the Boston School Committee and our great teachers and school leaders are also continuing to improve school quality for all students and we need input from parents, students and the community to be successful.
Visit bostonschoolchoice.org to see the plans and get involved!
The school choice plans now under consideration would:
•Offer families quality choices, closer to home
•Allow current students to stay in the same school and ensure ‘sibling preference’ for younger brothers and sisters
•Preserve walk zone options
•Create K-8 pathways from elementary to middle schools
•Create strong programs for English Language Learners and students with disabilities closer to where they live
•Take effect beginning in the 2014-2015 school year

Help spread the word about this important meeting Wednesday February 6th at 6:00 PM in the East Boston High School. Learn about Global Oil’s proposal to bring 1.8 million gallons of ethanol every week to their facility on the Chelsea Creek, and hear from representatives of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation about a study of the public safety risks. Ethanol is a highly flammable liquid, which if ignited requires special foams and equipment to extinguish. A fire from an ethanol train that derailed in Ohio last summer required an evacuation of residents within a one-mile radius of the accident, and the flames took nearly two days to put out. Does this kind of facility belong in our dense, urban community? Come learn more about Global’s plans, and let the Department of Transportation know your concerns.
¡Ayúdenos a compartir esta información de una reunión muy importante el miércoles, 6 de Febrero a las 6:00 en la Cafetería de East Boston High School! Aprenda sobre la propuesta de Global Oil de traer 1.8 milliones de galones de etanol en tren dos veces por semana a sus instalaciones en el Rio de Chelsea. Oiga a los representantes del Departamento de Transporte de un estudio sobre los riesgos públicos de esta propuesta. Etanol es un líquido bastante inflamable, lo cual si se encienda requiere una espuma y otro equipo especial. Hubo un incendio causado por un accidente de tren llevando etanol por Ohio el verano pasado, y tuvieron que evacuar a los residentes viviendo entre una milla alrededor de los rieles. ¿Debemos tener este tipo de riesgo dentro de nuestra comunidad? Venga a la reunión para aprender más sobre los planes de Global Oil, y deje que el Departamento de Transporte oiga sus inquietudes.

Massachusetts Families, Community Leaders Announce Plans to Win Comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2013
Press conference features families hurt by current immigration system, announces actions to come
BOSTON – At 11 a.m. on Monday at Boston City Hall, leaders from labor, faith, and government will join with the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, community allies, and immigrant families impacted by the failed immigration system to announce “Keeping Families Together,” a new national campaign to pass sensible and humane immigration reform in 2013. The campaign seeks to support and strengthen the proposals released this week by a bipartisan group of 8 U.S. Senators and by President Obama, to ensure that reform is centered around a pathway to citizenship that keeps families together.
The families in this campaign will lift the veil on the moral crisis of family separation through a series of events to be announced Monday, escalating to a national mobilization in Washington, DC in April, organized locally by CASA de Maryland and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
WHAT: Massachusetts launch of the Keeping Families Together campaign and announcement of its role in the national grassroots mobilization for comprehensive, common sense immigration reform.
WHERE: Piemonte Room, Boston City Hall, Government Center, Boston, MA
WHEN: 11:00 – 11:30 a.m., Monday, February 4, 2013
WHO: Speakers include:
• Lisette, Mother of two affected by immigration system
• Eva Millona, Executive Director, MIRA Coalition
• Felix G. Arroyo, Boston City Councilor-at-Large
• Rocio Saenz, President, SEIU Local 615
• Representative of Greater Boston Interfaith Organization
• Michael Curry, Boston Chapter President, NAACP (invited)

About You For Me For You
In the closed world of North Korea, Yuna’s sister Minjee is desperately sick. To save her, Yuna pays a Smuggler to help them flee North Korea – but Minjee is too sick to make it across the border. Instructed by the Smuggler, Yuna races across time and space to New York, committed to returning for Minjee. Yet the free world is seductive and confounding; life suddenly offers Yuna a distracting bounty of choice, and time moves much faster than in North Korea.
Company One presents You for Me for You in the Plaza Theatre at the BCA from January 18 to February 16. Company One is a Resident Theatre Company of the Boston Center for the Arts.

Her work combines advocacy, technical assistance, and litigation to curb the excessive and unlawful detention of immigrants caused by detainers; as well as to separate state and local policing from immigration enforcement. Lena previously worked at the National Immigration Forum in Washington, D.C., where she helped coordinate national advocacy to improve border enforcement policy, analyzed federal budget and appropriations on immigration issues, and sought less punitive immigration enforcement policies at the national level.

Temporary Protected Status Re-registration Period
Extended for Haitian Nationals
WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today an extension of the re-registration period for Haitian nationals who have already been granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and seek to maintain that status for an additional 18 months. Given the impact Hurricane Sandy has had on regions where Haitians reside, the re-registration period is extended through Jan. 29, 2013.
Haitian TPS beneficiaries are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Under this extension, USCIS also will accept applications from eligible individuals who have already applied after the close of the re-registration period on Nov. 30, 2012 and will continue to accept applications through Jan. 29, 2013.
The initial, 60-day re-registration period was established after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced in October 2012 an 18-month extension of the TPS designation of Haiti, from Jan. 23, 2013, through July 22, 2014.
Approximately 60,000 Haitian nationals (and people having no nationality who last habitually resided in Haiti) are eligible for TPS re-registration. TPS is not available to Haitian nationals who entered the United States after Jan. 12, 2011.
In the Oct. 1, 2012 Federal Register notice announcing the extension of TPS for Haiti (see 77 FR 59943), DHS also automatically extended—by six months, through July 22, 2013—the validity of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for eligible Haitian TPS beneficiaries. This will allow sufficient time for eligible TPS beneficiaries whose re-registration is timely to receive an EAD without any lapse in employment authorization.
To re-register, TPS beneficiaries must submit Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, and Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. Individuals seeking to re-register do not need to pay the Form I-821 application fee. However, a biometric services fee (or a fee-waiver request) is required for all re-registrants 14 years of age and older. All re-registrants seeking employment authorization through July 22, 2014, must submit the Form I-765 fee (or a fee-waiver request). Re-registrants who do not want employment authorization are not required to submit the I-765 fee but must still submit a completed Form I-765. Failure to submit the required filing fees or a properly documented fee-waiver request will result in the rejection of the re-registration application.
A notice posted in today’s Federal Register contains more details on the re-registration period’s extension. More information can be found by visiting the USCIS Web site at www.uscis.gov/tps or by calling the USCIS National Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-375-5283. TPS forms are available free of charge through www.uscis.gov/forms and the toll-free USCIS Forms line at 1-800-870-3676.
