and representatives to

encourage them to

pass the Governor's

budget that will restore

school funding back to the amounts given 2008.

 

Yes, 2008 . . . the budget

has been cut significantly every year since then.  Even if restored, we are still behind five years in funding our schools.

 

Our kids can't wait.
