Inequality: How Students in Poor School Districts are Paying the Price for the State Budget.

Alliance for Quality Education -:

I want to share a graph with you from a report we released yesterday entitled Back to Inequality: How Students in Poor School Districts are Paying the Price for the State Budget. The statewide report shows that poor school districts received a much larger per pupil cut than wealthier districts. Some districts lost double and triple what wealthy districts lost. The recent $1.3 billion devastating cut to our schools further widens the inequality gap for public school students.

In just six weeks, millionaires will receive a $5 billion tax break from the State. This is revenue that could be used to return teachers and programs to classrooms. Does any of this make sense to you? Speak out NOW.

Click HERE to take action by sending an email to the Governor and Legislature now.
