This is a real budget shortfall. Let's do this another way. Please CALL or EMAIL your legislators. The state is slicing up the funds from the federal government right now. The education dollars will be split between K-12 and Universities. Between now and this Thursday are the most important days to make the calls or send emails.
You want to tell them where you are from (county and city) and that you would like them to support K-12 education funding. That’s it folks. Very simple message.
Kelli Linville is the head of the Ways & Means Committee and she is totally going to bat for education funding! (She is a third generation Lowell Alumni.) The other Legislators need to hear from you to make Kelli Linville’s job of getting the education dollars easier.
Our legislators are in the 40th and 42nd district. Here’s who to call or email:
