- W920630466 abstract "Gwen Samuel is a mother from Meriden and the founder of the Connecticut Parents Union. Her life’s work is dedicated to empowering parents in Connecticut, and around the country, so that they may fight to improve the schools that their children attend. Samuel believes that all parents should have a say in where their children go to school, that they should be able to make a choice and not be forced to send their children to a school that is unsafe or failing. In her efforts to end zip code laws, Gwen Samuel has worked closely with the two 2011 residency cases, rallying support for Tanya McDowell (Bridgeport) and Marie Menard (Stratford), hoping that the injustices against parents in residency case arrests will gain national attention. She hopes that arrests against parents will stop and that, as a whole, failing schools will improve. Speaker key: RB: Richelle Benjamin GS: Gwen Samuel [all comments by transcriber in brackets] RB: Okay, um, go ahead and introduce yourself to me and first tell me what you do as far as working for Connecticut's Parents Union, first of all. GS: First and foremost, a parent. So I have children in the Meriden school system and I founded the Connecticut Parents Union in 2011 when I realized that parents just don't have leverage at the state level, at the legislative level. So I founded the Connecticut Parents Union hoping to level the playing fields to give an organizing base for parents so that they're able to fight more effectively on behalf of their children in Connecticut schools. [00:00:36.21] RB: Mhm, and when and why did you first become interested in school residency cases? GS: I mean, it kind of dropped in our lap. So we had just in 2010 just introduced a Parent Empowerment law. Um, you may know it as a parent trigger. So here we are trying to give legal power in the state of Connecticut in 2010 and I just realized everyone had a say so in the rights of children, you know, but parents. So then after 2010 legislative session I said, I'm gonna organize, we're just gonna create this parent's union, and we got incorporated in January of 2014" @default.
