FUNDING EDUCATION

Massive budget cuts not done deal yet

House and Senate must put final stamp of approval on disastrous cuts

Reading the news , many would think the $218 per pupil cut to public education was already signed into law. But the fact is both chambers of the Legislature still have to vote in favor of the conference committee’s recommendation and the governor has to sign it. Which means…

THERE’S STILL TIME TO ACT!

Contact your legislators in Lansing by phone, e-mail, text message, Twitter, Facebook or any other means you can. Tell them that these massive cuts to public education threaten the future of our students, our economy and our state. Tell them that the education of our students isn’t “discretionary” – it’s essential to preparing them for the jobs Michigan needs.
