School Beat: Fighting For FundingLisa Schiffbyline‚ May. 08‚ 2008In the face of a Governor who refuses to act responsibly by fairly raising taxes and closing tax loopholes, public education advocates are mobilizing in numerous ways for numerous responses. Not only are we continuing our advocacy in opposition to Schwarzenegger’s outrageous attacks against public schools, but locally we are devising solutions that will help increase our financial stability and independence. School communities are sending the Governor stacks of postcards; individuals are making phone calls and writing letters; unions and supporters are demonstrating. This Friday from 5pm to 7pm at 555 Franklin Street the San Francisco PTA is hosting a Flunk The Budget Potluck to which people should bring food and a cell phone, and the PTA will provide the space and most importantly the phone numbers of legislators and members of the appropriations committees (RSVP to 415-290-2708 if you plan to attend.) |
