[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advocate to the County and State to Increase APS Funding

The Superintendent’s Proposed Budget for FY 2025 focuses on a 3.3% increase in compensation for staff, maintenance of core needs, and significant cuts as we work to close a $29.5 million gap.

The County’s budget process is underway. We urge all to advocate to the County to pass a 2.5 cent tax increase to support our schools. There are two upcoming opportunities to advocate for schools. Make your voices heard!

Public Hearing at 7 p.m., on April 2 and April 4.
Members of the public who wish to sign-up to speak at a budget public hearing can do so online.
All work sessions and public hearings are open to the public and will be live-streamed and broadcast on Cable Channel 70 and Verizon FIOS Channel 41.
Budget wrap-up session on April 11, from 3-5 p.m.
Final budget decisions will be made during the April 16 budget mark-up session, from 3-5 p.m. This will be the last meeting before board members vote to formally adopt the final budget on April 20.

Anyone can advocate by attending the hearing or by writing to the County Board at countyboard@arlingtonva.us. All are also encouraged to advocate to the State to increase funding for APS – the current budget proposed by the Governor cuts APS. Contact the Governor today!

who is "we"?[/quote]

APS community members who want our schools to have proper funding. [/quote]

Ok, so you don't want to say what group wrote that? Why not? [/quote]

I'm not speaking for any group - just for myself and any community member who wants to see our schools properly funded.
