SU4US – STAND UP FOR UPSTATE SCHOOLS

As our governor and state legislators begin the process of developing a budget for 2015, it is important for all of our elected officials to understand the importance of funding for public education. Our state and nation have been in the midst of a recession for the past six years. While there are signs of economic growth, that growth is small. Public schools like Hadley Luzerne have reduced staff and cut program in response to reduced state support; in fact, state aid to our school district has not exceeded the level provided in 2008.

The state has hurt school districts and municipalities on both sides of the ledger sheet. Reductions in state aid, primarily through the Gap Elimination Adjustment, and the tax cap, a complex calculation intended to control the growth of the local tax levy, have reduced revenue, while the transition to the Common Core State Standards and other unfunded or underfunded state mandates (teacher professional development; special education provisions, printing costs, data and accountability costs) are pressing tight budgets.

Please join us on Thursday, January 22 at 6 PM at Saratoga Springs High School (1 Blue Streak Blvd, Saratoga Springs), when community members like you and I can stand up for our schools in a manner that our elected officials understand the need to improve funding for our schools. Join parents, students, educators, school leaders, board members and other concerned residents from school districts in Washington, Saratoga, Hamilton, Warren and Essex counties to advocate for public education!
