Help us keep our education funding!
California is in a fiscal crisis! Should the Governor's proposed budget be enacted, MBUSD's expenses for 2008-2009 will exceed revenues by $1.6 million. Join us in telling our California legislators that education is already underfunded and that our funding should not be cut. We have prepared letters for you to sign and send to Sacramento ASAP. If you receive one or more packets of letters at your home, please send them all, as each school is covering eight different legislators. If you do not receive a packet (it was not in our budget to mail to 2,000 families), please download and print letters found on the Grand View PTA website's advocacy page. Click here to download letters.
