Support Governor Scott's Education Budget...
and defeat the so-called "Parent Empowerment" or "Parent Trigger" Bill HB 1191
The stakes for children and public education in 2012 are huge. Parents, teachers, students, informed taxpayers and business owners must get involved in the legislative process and demand that lawmakers support Governor Rick Scott's plan to put $1 billion back into education. Otherwise, the consequences could be dire, this after more than a billion dollars was ripped away from education and our children last year.
Is this a victory for public education? If nothing else, it's a turning of the tide, a movement in the right direction after years of cuts.
