Dear Ms. Lyons,
I found out today that the School Aid Fund is now responsible for community colleges and universities as well as public K-12 education. While I am an advocate for education, I believe that this transfer of responsibility ignores the intention of the voters who passed Proposal A in 1994 to secure funding for K-12 education. I found out that with this transfer, public K-12 education will receive a $300 million cut which translates into a $300 per student cut. This is unacceptable. The Governor asked for shared sacrifice. With the number of cuts this year and last, public education has taken more than its share of cuts and sacrifice. Please use your position as a member of the State House representing me and save the integrity of K-12 public education.
Sincerely,
