Tomorrow!: Act for Equal Funding!

House Bill #3397 is a Charter School equity bill that I believe Trillium community members should support. The first hearing this Wednesday morning at 8 am in the House Revenue Committee.

This bill would bring funding for charter schools in line with all other per pupil funding. For Trillium it would mean at approximately $250,000 worth of revenue every year. It is worth the battle.

I believe the hearing will be in Hearing room A on the first floor on the House side of the building. The bill's supporters would love parents and families to come to the hearing and even testify if they would like. If your can't attend contact you representatives and urge their support.

CHARTER SCHOOLS SHOULD GET THE SAME $ PER STUDENT AS OTHER PUBLIC SCHOOLS!

This google map shows where the State Capital is located.

This is the directions from Trillium.

It will take over an hour to get there so if you plan on coming remember that the hearing starts at eight and parking might take some time.
