Petition to Combat State Reduction in Aid for Schools
Posted Wednesday, March 24, 2010 by PTA.
The drastic reduction in state aid for school districts is having a devastating effect on districts throughout New Jersey, including ours.
Some of the damage, including some of the cuts our own school district has been forced to make, are outlined in this NJ.com article.
Next year promises to be even worse.
The Our Children Our Schools Campaign is a coalition of some of NJ’s most prominent education advocacy and civil rights groups whose goal is to inform public debate on important education issues such as school funding, and to advocate for high quality education for all New Jersey children.
Their current campaign for the full funding of state school aid should be of great interest to parents in the South Orange-Maplewood community. If you would like to learn more about this effort and/or sign a petition, please see the flyer.
The petition can be printed out, signed, and mailed in or you can sign online (instructions are included in the flyer).
