The House and Senate Education Finance Committees are finalizing their recommendations of the education bonding projects that should be included in the overall bonding bill and will continue to hear other bills in the coming week.   

The legislators and state leaders are bracing for the February state forecast which is to be released next Thursday, February 28.  It is expected that the current state deficient of $375 million dollars could significantly increase.

1.  Make  a visit to the capitol.  It is important for education supporters to have a presence at the capitol.  Your legislators need to hear from you about the importance of our public schools.  Don't hesitate to contact me if you are at all interested in making a trip to the capitol.  I'd be happy to meet you or help you in any way. 

 

2.  Attend the Parent Leadership Summit on April 7.  This is a great opportunity for parents and education supporters to network with other parents from around the state and discuss ways that we can advocate for our schools.  Click here for more information and the summit flyer and to register.
