Letter-writing event to protest budget set
Parents and educators at Alice Shaw Elementary School will host a letter-writing campaign Tuesday to protest the local impact on students and schools of the governor's proposal to slash $4.8 billion in education funds statewide.
The group will write to members of the legislature to uphold Proposition 98, the 2006 voter initiative that guarantees a certain level of funding for schools in the state.
The campaign will take place from 2:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Alice Shaw, located at 759 Dahlia Place in Santa Maria. Everyone is welcome.
