Help Fight The Budget Cuts: Plea From the UFT

May 19th 2008

Below is the text of a request from the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) to its members to help fight budget cuts that will have a severe impact on public education. We at Townsend Harris HS will take a big hit.

“Despite a multi-billion dollar budget surplus, Mayor Bloomberg wants to cut $450 million from schools that he had promised for the coming school year.

“Only a year ago, the city and the state pledged a $5.4 billion, four-year increase in school spending as part of an agreement resolving the 13-year Campaign for Fiscal Equity lawsuit. Even though the economy is taking a downward turn, the state kept its commitment by providing a $600 million increase for city schools in the state budget. Now we are calling on the mayor and the City Council to do their part.

“We need your help to get the city to keep its promises.

“Please send an online fax to Mayor Bloomberg and your Council member today!” Click here to send a letter
