It looks like parents who have children at 100 Academy are organizing on their own in preparation for tonight's board meeting (see post below). Some of them put together a newsletter. Based on the choice of language, which can get pretty strong at times, this is a genuine parent effort, not something created by school employees or other interested parties.
A few passages.
Imagine Inc. Keeps parents out of the way.
Dipping and dodging issues as they come about. They prefer you remove your
child from their schools than to stand together and force them to operate
efficiently.

. . . we are still fighting for basic necessities like physical education quarters, safe play areas, security, a part-time/ full-time/ anytime nurse, and textbooks. It has gotten so bad that parents are not allowed to volunteer our services to better the school. We can’t even clean the building for free! Better yet support the teachers that are desperately in need of a class aid!

[at the meeting] • We will provide our petition, and formally notify them that we plan to withhold our children from school on the 18th.
• We will listen to reasons why we should not keep our children from school on Friday.
• Shortly thereafter if a meeting for parents is required we can make an immediate decision amongst ourselves re: “Student Stress-free” day.
• All parents who may need assistance with childcare please call immediately or email [I removed the phone number and email address]. Our children will not be left unattended for the day.
