Raise Your Voice In Support Of Public Education
Every district in the state including Forsyth County stands to lose hundreds of millions to voucher expansion next year alone, a number the General Assembly is already considering increasing. While it’s unfair to have to lean so hard on our County Commissioners to fill the ever-increasing gap caused by the state, what will happen if we don’t? What will public education look like next year? In 5 years?
Because of endless budget cuts by the NC General Assembly, students do not have the supports they need and veteran public school staff like Clarissa are facing precarious futures. Never before have we seen this level of exodus from the teaching and educational support professions.
Turn out and bring everyone you know to support public schools on June 10th when we rally and ask that the Forsyth County Commissioners step up and support public education.
