Will You Allow It To Happen?

The state of the budget in California is sad indeed. The budgets of school districts are being cut drastically.

We can't even turn the news on or open a newspaper without headlines jumping out informing us of the teachers who will be laid off at any given moment.

HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF HOW MANY OF THE TEACHERS BEING LET GO ARE READING FIRST COACHES?

Over the past year, the Reading First budget has been cut by 60 something percent due to the controversy over the unethical conflicts of interest. Is your school district cutting back in proportion to the cut in Reading First funding? In other words. is your district making cuts to Reading First coaches? If you dig deep enough you will probably find that the jobs of Reading First coaches are spared, while their funding has been cut at the same time.

Will you sit quietly by as teachers are laid off, while your cherished class sized reduction is dismantled, and all the while the positions of Reading First coaches are protected? Make your voice heard!
