California Students -- Please Join us to speak out against Governor Schwarzenegger's proposed budget for education funding. |
| Students, it is time for us to stand up together and send a message to Governor Schwarzenegger and the Legislature. It is time we tell them that breaking the promise to fully fund education is wrong and will impact us most significantly. The independent Legislative Analyst's Office calculates that, assuming 27 students per class and 6.3 million public school students, schools are likely to take a hit of about $8,650 per classroom per year. We can make a difference, our voice does matter and it should and needs to be heard. On April 28th the California State PTA is holding a rally on the steps of the Capitol to protest the Governor's proposed budget for education funding. This proposed budget will have a significant impact on students. That is why it is important for students to speak out against this proposal. We invite and encourage students to contact their PTA unit, council, and district president about participating in Caravan for our Kids. Caravan for our Kids is a group that is mobilizing people from all over the state to come to Sacramento on the 28th to participate in our rally. It is important that youth speak out and be heard! If you want more information about this event please let us know. Nick Rivera CA State PTA Student Representative StudentVoices@capta.org |
