If you believe that the primary school day at District 150 should not be cut by 45 minutes, if you believe that the benefits of a common prep period for teachers and integrated curriculum can be implemented without cutting the school day, if you believe there are better ways to balance the school budget than by cutting the learning time of the most vulnerable of the district’s students, then I urge you to come down to the District 150 Administration Office tonight at 5:00 p.m. to join like-minded parents, teachers, and residents in demonstrating your support for rescinding the 45-minute cut in the school day.

The Board of Education suspects that it’s just a small group (a “vocal minority”) that wants the board to reverse their decision. Help us show them that there is broad public support for restoring the learning time they voted to cut last month.

The demonstration starts at 5:00 and goes until 6:30 p.m., which is when the school board meeting begins. I hope you’ll join us.
