Governor Livingston High School Budget Cuts to AP Courses

The Issue

The proposed budget cuts by the Board of Education could potentially eliminate Advanced Placement (AP) courses with 15 or fewer students from the curriculum of Governor Livingston High School. These courses could include AP Physics C, AP Italian, AP Biology, AP Spanish, and AP BC Calculus. The potential impact of this decision cannot be overstated as it would significantly limit our students' academic options, deprive them of the opportunity to challenge themselves and hinder the quality of their education.

AP courses are highly rigorous and offer advanced coursework that prepares students for college-level challenges and beyond. These courses allow students to earn college credit, providing families with substantial financial benefits. Moreover, they help students develop critical thinking skills, which are essential for success in higher education.

We urge you to take action and sign this petition to persuade the Board of Education to reconsider their decision and explore alternative solutions to the proposed budget cuts. Our students deserve the highest quality education possible, and eliminating AP courses would adversely affect their academic achievements and future opportunities.

We respectfully request that the Board of Education recognizes the critical role that these courses play in shaping the academic careers of our students. We ask that they prioritize the education of our students and not let financial constraints get in the way of providing the best academic opportunities possible. Let us work together to preserve these essential courses and ensure that our students have access to the education they deserve.
