Fair Funding: Reserve Your Spot on the Bus! And Make the Friday Calls!

Friends - it's time for action. For a decade we have been underfunded. It's hurt us in so many ways -- visit a school building and you see the damage this neglect has caused. The Governor's address was an incredible disappointment. To all of us in Cherry Hill. We have an inconsequential increase while overfunded districts are getting even more funding in the current plan. It's frustrating and it's totally unacceptable and unfair. The good news: the figures put out by the Governor can CHANGE as they did last year. We have until June to make our voices heard, LOUD AND CLEAR. Our greatest opportunity is on April 3. Our FAIR FUNDING bus leaves Malberg at 9am for Budget hearings. Several BOE members and Dr. Meloche are going separately. WE HAVE ROOM for 50 people to ride in the bus. Register here as soon as possible: https://www.evite.com/event/0304MMRENDM5MYFGEEPIF23OVXC3R4/rsvp?gid=0304MMRENDM5MYGC4EPIF23OWCNRNM YOU can tell your story as you demand ACTION. What do YOU want for YOUR kids and YOUR town? What needs to be fixed in YOUR school or YOUR neighborhood? We should get $29m each year from the State, when is it coming?? We need it THIS YEAR. $29m is the State's LEGAL, STATUTORY OBLIGATION. It's not a number we came up with, this is THEIR NUMBER. And remember to make your FRIDAY CALLS -- in meeting after meeting, we get confirmation that THE CALLS ARE WORKING. Remember to leave your name, phone and email when you can. Asm.
