Budget negotiations in Harrisburg are in their final stages and our legislators are faced with broad disagreements over education funding.
Senators in this region play a major role in shaping the outcome of the budget. We need you to tell your Senator that protecting the new reformed funding formula and preventing state cuts is a smart investment in the future success of our state. We need to keep the state funding and use federal stimulus funds to fund the 09-10 funding formula targets. Without YOUR help Pennsylvania schools will be forced to cut programs, increase class size and lay-off teachers.
We can no longer afford a budget impasse. We also need our Senators to stop playing a shell game with federal funds that we know won’t work. They ignore the rules on how federal funds can be used and say that some other specially allocated funds from the federal government should be enough, even though those funds are only for specific purposes. It simply isn’t so! Some are suggesting that this year’s budget might be too tough to assure that the second year of the basic education formula is fully funded, even though we have stimulus funds to do it. Don’t let them turn back the clock! The time to act is now.
SO PLEASE CALL and urge your Senator to support full funding for the basic education formula!
