Let me just celebrate the unsung heroes of the @CommSchools movement...Parents and Coordinators. Each of you have amazing stories of resilience and perseverance and I’m forever grateful. Can’t wait to see you again at the #RiseUp4Equity Summit @IELconnects.
ACTION ALERT: Currently, $4 Million is Allocated for Community Schools in the House Budget. This amount would not even sustain our current grantees under the current statute. We NEED $6 Million to sustain our commitment to current community school grantees 1/3
and expand the community school initiative to meet the need throughout the state.
ASK - Contact Senate Finance members to request an additional $2 Million in HB2 for Community Schools to bring the total budget request to $6 million. 2/3
2/2 and mechanism for directing $2 million in funding to communities throughout the state to bolster our community schools movement.
This historic moment speaks to the power of collective action – we are stronger together! #CommunitySchools#March4youth
