Hello Delegate/ Senator _____________. My name is ____________and I’m calling you today to let you know that the Governor’s budget for public education is too low.  I’m asking you to step up to the plate and increase the funding for public schools. 

This year you’ve cut $280 million in direct aid to localities.

You continue to cut $350 million by keeping the cap on Support positions.

You continue to cut $270 million in contributions for health care for school employees.

In short, the state is not living up to its responsibility to pay its share of K-12 costs. Who suffers for this?  The children and school employees.  We need to restore these funds NOW!
