Please Help Our Schools -- Visit the Education Issues Action Center Website   
 
The San Diego Unified School District relies on state and federal funding to educate the children of our community. Elected representatives in Sacramento and Washington make critical decisions about public education funding and policy that impact OUR schools and students. Elected officials need to hear from parents and all San Diegans about how they feel about key legislative and budget issues. 

 

As a supporter of quality public education, you can visit the Education Issues ACTION CENTER to learn about key educational issues and communicate your opinion directly with your representatives. The site provides:  

  • Information about key legislative and budget issues that impact public education
  • An easy way to identify your personal elected representatives
  • Prewritten support letters that can be edited and sent immediately to register your opinions on key legislation and issues facing our schools   

It's simple. Just click this link:  http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/50217/ and then click on an issue in the left-hand column to learn more. Then, TAKE ACTION!   

 

Together we can make a difference.
