What Is Happening With Our Schools?

On Thursday, people all across California will join together to show support for our schools. We do not want more cuts!

But what is the problem? Why are more cuts possible?

Here is some information to help you understand:

1. There are many problems in the economy in the United States and in California.

2. Education in California, one of the wealthiest states in the country, is in extreme danger.

3. Adult education in particular is in real trouble.

4. K-12 and Community colleges and universities are also in trouble. This is hardest for people with less money. (Fee hikes, for example).

5. If we want to keep our right to education, we must speak up.

6. March 4 is a big national mobilization. Thousands of people will join together to speak up for schools.

6. You can be a part of that by going to one of the events on Thursday.

7, You can tell people that you are a student at the Adult School and you care about what happens to the Adult School and other public schools.

Please tell your teacher if youplan to go to one of the events.
