Next Tuesday, November 10, I will be traveling with a group of parents to Lansing to meet with state legislators about the school funding crisis in Michigan.  We will be joining similar groups from all over the state that will be traveling to the capital for the same purpose.  This event is being coordinated by “SOS” the state-wide grass roots group I told you about in a previous post, and the purpose in going is to let legislators know how strongly we oppose funding cuts that jeopardize our children getting a quality education.

The message we will send to our legislators on Tuesday will hopefully be simple and clear:

·         Restore the funding cuts to Michigan public schools for 2009-10.

·         Work in the near future to develop a long-term, sustainable and equitable funding solution for Michigan's public schools.

We have a great group headed to Lansing and we hope to be part of the change that needs to take place to ensure that our kids will continue to get a quality education.  It is a very important time in our state’s history and we hope we can make a difference by traveling to Lansing next Tuesday.  I will update you on our trip after we return.
