Our message to Sacramento:  Fully fund public education - reform the state budget process and Prop 13! Cut prison spending, not schools! 

Our message to SFUSD Superintendent Carlos Garcia and the Board of Education: Stand with educators and families! No Cuts! No Layoffs! Emergency Funding Now! Defend the Classroom!

Superintendent Garcia has announced an increase in K-3 class size to 25-30; a wage freeze and furloughs for all district employees; shortened school year; and other drastic measures to make up the State's $1,500 per student cut.  The politicians and administrators say there is "no alternative" to the cuts.  But if there's money for wars, bank bailouts, and prisons, why is there no money for public education?  Why is California, the world's eighth largest economy, now at the very bottom of U.S. states in education spending?  On March 4, students, teachers, workers and families from all levels of public education, pre-K through university, and all over our state will be walking out and taking action to say NO to budget cuts, class size increases, tuition increases, and privatization, and to demand adequate funding for public education, our human right. Please join us.
