Flunk the Budget!
As you may know, the State of California is proposing to cut the state's education budget by $4.8 billion. Our Glendale Council PTA and the California State PTA oppose any cuts to education and children's programs. Learn more about what these cuts could mean to our children.
So what can you do about it? Contact your local representatives and let them know that, as a parent and constituent, you oppose the 2008-2009 budget proposal. To make it easier, just click on the zip code below in which you reside and you can print pre-written letters to your local legislators, sign them in BLUE INK, and either drop them at the Lincoln office in care of Sarah Kauffman or mail them directly to the legislators.
Legislators letters by zip code:
