We got $300K*. Is that enough?

The BOF voted to include an increase to the BOE budget of $300,000. It's something, but it's not enough. It was suggested by an outside source that supporters call the BOF members at home. If anyone finds their information, please publish it. I'll work on it, too.

Our 152-signature petition was accepted as correspondence, but not as an official petition due to some legal technicalities. The main thing is that our voices were heard and noted and not ignored. Erin organized it and did a GREAT job!

The BOF has a tough job, and they are trying hard to be fair and to spread a very small pie around to many hungry people, so to speak. They may not be able to give any more, but we can still ask. We can't give up! This will lead to loss of jobs and programs--it's just not enough.

Remember, education is not just for OUR children. It's for everyone's future. Encourage even those who do not have children in the school system to support the important cause of education.

Thanks. Our work is not done yet. Pass it on!






*I had 2% and $339K in my notes, but it was past my bedtime. Thanks to those who caught my (unfortunate) mistake!
