Please make your voices heard!

Hi Everyone,

Please check out the attached flier.

It explains how you can go about contacting Sacramento regarding the state's fiscal crisis and its impact on education. I urge you to do this! Please let our elected officials know that you expect them to maintain Prop 98 and not make cuts to educational funding!

At a meeting I attended yesterday, Superintendent Carter, Trustee Stiff, and Kim Anderson, legislative chair for CUCPTSA all stressed the importance of voicing your concerns. As Mr. Carter stated, "Silence is concurrence!" So, let's not be silent! PTA is stressing advocacy right now, while CUSD Foundation puts together a plan for fundraising. Let your neighbors, family, business associates, dry cleaners, guy who bags your groceries, dentist, pediatrician, piano teacher, sports coach, anyone who cares about California's future know how to contact Sacramento (you don't have to have children to understand the importance of education). Make it easy for them, forward them my email or print it out and ask them to send a quick email message to Sacramento.

Any questions, let me know.

Thank you!
Dana Lush
