Legislative Session Fast Approaching
We are just a little over one week away from the start of the 2008 legislative session. If you haven’t already done so, I encourage you to meet with your local legislators and make sure they understand the importance of a supplemental funding package for education. It is very important that they understand your budget situation and the cuts you will need to implement next year absent new state funding.
I’m sure many of you are hearing the same thing from legislators that I am – the state is facing projected budget shortfall, it is not a funding year, etc. It is becoming increasingly clear that we are going to really need to activate our grassroots supporters if we are going to be successful in securing supplemental funding this year. Please direct your staff and parents to the AMSD web page where they can register for our E Advocacy program and receive legislative alerts and updates during the session:
