Hello, my name is Hannah Foster. I am a 29-year-old single mom and a proud Fayette County, WV native. Like many of you, I have deep roots here in West Virginia. I am a graduate from WVU in criminal justice, a domestic violence survivor advocate, a public school supporter, a child advocate, and a passionate defender of our natural resources, such as clean and affordable water. Today, I am reaching out to all of you with an urgent plea to help save our beloved West Virginia public schools. Kara James is one of our main advocates for our WV Public Schools located in Raleigh County, WV.
Our public schools, spanning across towns, counties, cities, and hollers, are facing unprecedented challenges that threaten their very existence. These institutions are the heart of our communities—the nurturing grounds for our children and future leaders. Yet, they are underfunded, understaffed, and at risk of closure or consolidation, adversely affecting students' education and wellbeing.
In many parts of West Virginia, particularly rural areas, public schools are more than just educational facilities; they serve as community hubs offering essential resources, including meals, extracurricular activities, and social support. Without action, our kids risk losing these vital components of their upbringing.
Consider this: nearly every school in the state is struggling because of fiscal cuts and policy changes that favor private education solutions over public school funding. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, WV public schools need over $1,000 more per student annually to meet educational adequacy.
A clear, actionable solution involves lobbying for increased state and federal funding specifically earmarked for public education. This can include re-allocating budget priorities, investing in teacher salaries to attract and retain skilled educators, and enhancing infrastructure to create better learning environments. Additionally, we can support legislation that ensures public funds remain in public schools, rather than being diverted to charter or private schools.
It is crucial to come together and raise our voices in defense of our students' future. By signing this petition, you stand with me in demanding equitable, sustainable support for our WV public schools. Share your story; include your name, your child’s name, and the school they attend to personalize your support. Together, we can make sure our children and communities continue to thrive.
Please join me in this critical effort to secure a promising future for all West Virginia students. Sign this petition today to urge our lawmakers to take immediate action. We have a lawyer handling this matter regarding Raleigh County Schools. His name is Steve New. His office specializes out of Charleston & Beckley areas. Please help us make a state wide data base with this.I’m just asking for some reasonable guardrails, some reasonable guidelines on income with exceptions & an overseer for all. I don’t know exactly what rules this may be. These lawyers like Steve New on this specialize more on this. We are expanding but can’t do this alone. Do you know a good lawyer who can help us? Please contact Mr. Steve New’s direct line with this information at 304-355-5565. We can’t do this alone. We can do this as a unit. Thank you! Kara James is over this main project for Raleigh Counth Schools.
🚨Please Note🚨
We have many individuals in on this project. I can’t list them all. They want to help save your schools in your small towns. Especially your small schools in rual areas. Let me help you as a single mom, an advocate & a parent with a kid actively in our schools. The goal is to save our public schools. Especially the ones we can. We must assess all & realize it’s county to county. Even down to what that town may need. Things do change & the circumstances all the time. Let me help you. We need to come together. We can file as parents with a lawyer to help save our schools. Steve New is doing this currently ONLY for Raleigh County Schools. If enough of us come together & ban together as a unit we will go further. Even state wide essentially. It all comes down to what Mr. New can handle & what his associates can also handle. He’s expanding his law firm to Charleston as we speak. He’s constantly busy & working hard for us everyday people.
Also in regards to the Hope Scholarship: I don’t want to take hope away. I get it’s a lifeline too for kids who need it. Especially low income kids. So please keep that in mind. We just need a good balance. A proper overseer for everyone & people all in these roles on the same page, caring about our kids. I’m asking for guardrails is all also. I want reasonable income guidelines yet put in some clauses to help people on the line or barely above water still struggling. I appreciate you so much & all you do too! Especially in your daily life I’m your town. I hope you have a good day. 🫶
