Cutting school budgets? I don't think so.

I know times are tough right now all over the place, but if there's
one thing we can't afford to cut back on in Central Florida it is
funding for our public schools. Excellence in education is a vital
part of any successful long-term economic strategy for our region.
Without a solid well-funded public school system we absolutely will
not be competitive in today's global economy. Central Florida's
schools have been in dire need of qualified teachers and
administrators for a long time. The best way to get the best teachers
and administrators is to pay them well. To keep the best we must
continue to pay them well. Call your state legislators and urge them
to increase the funding for Florida's public schools immediately.
They and Governor Crist promised us that our schools would not be cut
if Amendment 1 was passed. The very next thing he and our legislators
"accomplish" is to pass a budget with huge cuts in public school
funding! This must not be allowed to stand. The current generation
of kids in Florida deserve better than what our lawmakers have come up
with. Our leaders in Tallahassee must remain on the hook until this
unacceptable situation is resolved and our schools are awarded the
funding they so desperately need.
