Daily News “Inside scoop” on Insideschools
The Daily News editorial board wrote an editorial about Insideschools’ funding plight today:
”The single most valuable independent source of information on New York City public schools is about to go out of business forever. Are we nuts? With advocates raising a hue and cry over giving parents a greater voice in the schools, it is simply unbelievable that no one is rallying to save a Web site called Insideschools.org… Parents, teachers, advocates and officials should support the group in connecting with donors who’ll keep this service going as a trusted and independent help for the school community.”
Are you able to help us out? Please visit our donation page. And if you, or anyone you know, is able to help Insideschools in a “big way,” please contact us. We hope to be able to keep helping parents navigate the school system by providing independent school news and reviews. Thank you for your support during this difficult time for Insideschools.

How did it get to this point? Was it this website upgrade that none of us even like? Sent in what I sould afford but it was small and I doubt it’ll make a difference. It’s a shame but one had to wonder how, again, it got to this point.

What do you mean, “how did it get to this point?” The economy has been VERY tough on many excellent non-profits and even newspapers like the NYTimes haven’t figured out how to make money off of the web yet. I am sure it is not the fault of something like a redesign but of larger forces beyond their control. I am so sorry to read this. Insideschools is such a wonderful resource - the city can’t afford to let it go dark!

I just posted the Inside Schools donation link on my Facebook page. I suggest other supporters do the same. Maybe it will do some good.
