Get organized! City Council hearings on District budget

Posted byParents UnitedPosted inDistrict Budget

Parents across the city are mobilizing for action around next week’s City Council hearings on the District budget. We want a powerful presence and voice for more school funding, but also that the SRC must invest those dollars in the classrooms and teaching of District-managed public schools – NO blank check!

Here’s the schedule:

Monday, April 29

  • 10 a.m., City Hall: The District will present this budget before City Council starting at 10 a.m.
  • 6:30 p.m., Lincoln High School: City Councilman Bobby Henon will host a neighborhood public hearing on the city budget, which can include the School District, for testimony. This can be an important way to reach Councilman Henon.

Tuesday, April 30

  • 10 a.m., City Hall: Public testimony for City Council at 10 a.m.  and at 1 p.m. Call to testify at 215-686-3407.
  • 5:30 p.m., 440 N. Broad Street: Public testimony on the District budget. Call to testify 215-400-4180.

If you haven’t had a chance to review it , here’s documents the District has shared regarding the fiscal year 2014 situation.
We’ve uploaded them to this public location:

More documents are also at the District website here.

  1. I will be speaking at the SRC meeting on April 30 at 5:30p.m., with regard to the lack of funding for the music program(instrumental).
