Next week, many public education stakeholders will be in Tallahassee advocating for education funding. On Thursday, March 25th the Florida PTA will hold a rally at the Capital complex. Since we can’t bring all of our members to Tallahassee next week, we’re using technology to allow them to participate in a rally in cyberspace.
On Friday FEA will launch an electronic campaign to engage both our members and the public in a VIRTUAL RALLY to make sure that Florida Legislators Keep the Promise and Make Our Schools a Priority.
Here is what you can do to support the efforts in Tallahassee and make the Virtual Rally a success.
Encourage members to do the following:
· Wear RED on Thursday, March 25th
· log on to the Make Our Schools a Priority website on Thursday, March 25th at 4:00 p.m.
· sign the online Keep the Promise petition
· call and e-mail legislators to urge them to KEEP THE PROMISE!
This legislative session has the potential to do more damage to our public schools than any session in recent history –we are facing attacks on collective bargaining, due process, a rollback of the class size amendment, a raid on our retirement and, yes, more funding cuts.
