State and City budget cuts have already taken a huge toll on New York City public schools. Now another $500 million in devastating cuts are on the way.
Class sizes are on the rise. Tutoring and after school programs are being eliminated. Art and music classes are being cut. And thousands of great teachers are threatened with layoffs.
It’s time for action. Our kids don’t get a second chance at a good education. That’s why we should all be working together to block cuts and prevent layoffs in our public schools.
It’s time for our elected officials to stand up for kids, before it’s too late.
Finding solutions won’t be easy. The economy is still struggling and so are our communities. And the “blame the teachers” crowd and the Wall Street hedge funds behind them are spending millions, playing politics with our kids.
But we can’t give up. Everyone – parents, teachers and community members – need to stay focused on what really matters. Our kids are depending on us.
Join us and help us protect all schools and all children. STOP the cuts and SAVE our schools.
