The iAdvocate for Kids Committee is sponsoring a special advocacy program this month to mobilize parents and education advocates on behalf of Public Pre-K to12 Education.
During the month of February, three (3) alerts will be emailed to you asking you to contact the Governor, your State Senator and your State House Representative to support Public Pre-K to 12 Education.
The governor has asked for $1 billion to be added back to the Public Pre-K to 12 Education budget in the next fiscal year, but that is NOT enough. Duval County Public Schools still faces a deficit of at least $53 million dollars, even if the governor’s request is implemented.
Also, there are other bills affecting Public Pre-K-12 Education which have been introduced which take money away from public education and do not allow for local control of our schools.
SIGN UP HERE to receive the email alerts.
