Our schools are under-funded ? by the state and the city.

Let Council members know they share in the responsibility for holding our children harmless from the current round of budget cuts!

URGE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO:

* Help fix this hole! (Set aside gripes with the Mayor and school administration to financially collaborate on a plan of action)

* Meet (Education Committee) more often than once every six months!

* Explore the city?s role in long-term funding considerations that can help sustain reform for a School District finally showing progress!
