If you live in AZ you know about the cuts to Education that the Arizona Legislature is making. It is seriously shocking and so sad that our state legislatures would willingly take away billions of dollars- $27 million from our Gilbert District alone- from Education! Crazy. We are predicted to drop from the 48th state in funding schools to the 50th. Yup- that's right. We will be the state who gives education the very least amount of funding. The final cuts will be made in the next few months, but involve cutting teachers, cutting salaries, cutting teachers assistants, cutting extra programs, cutting all day kindergarten, etc. Out of all the things to cut, the leglislature will be hurting every single child in the state AND teachers whom already don't get paid enough or get enough credit.
We got a letter today from the principle of our school with the link we can go to and write our Legislatures! Go do it!

I hope you get a lot of response on this-it's so frustrating that when funding runs short, the first thing government cuts is school money. It's happening everywhere now. Everyone speak up wherever you live!
