STOP SEED CHARTER SCHOOL EXPANSION
SAVE KINGMAN PARK!!
DEFEND HOME RULE!!

Rally and Press Conference
Wednesday, April 26, 5:00 pm
SEED Foundation Offices
1712 "I" Street, NW
Washington, DC

Protest SEED's outrageous attempt to get around home rule and take over 15
acres of riverside parkland at Kingman Park to build a gated campus for 600
students
most of whom will never graduate!!

Since opening in 1998, SEED has graduated only 41 students.
SEED students who don't graduate are held back, expelled, or encouraged to
leave—often with NO CREDITS.

SEED is draining money from traditional public schools—it gets $30,000 per
student while public schools like Eastern and Wilson get about $5,000. It
also gets a lot of money from the people who own Wal-Mart.

SEED went behind the backs of DC residents and got Congress to give it the
Kingman Park land, with no community input in the decision!!

BRING A NEIGHBOR TO THE RALLY!!!
