Join us this Tuesday, March 14th at 7pm for our online forum “A Bigger Piece of the Pie for Education: Demystifying School Funding”!

FCCPR is offering an online forum on MARCH 14 at 7 pm focused on school funding.

Massachusetts is a very wealthy state.  It has close to eight billion dollars in its rainy day fund.  It has so much money on hand that it was required by law to send money back to taxpayers.

 And Massachusetts politicians say that they love our children, that children are our future, and that education is the key to unlocking that future.  

So why don’t we fully fund our schools?  Why are our teachers and instructional assistants working without a contract, our technology outdated, and why is the school district begging the town for more money, which the town does not have?  And what can we do about it?

Agenda for the forum:

  1. A slide show that presents an overview of how school funding works (or doesn’t work) in Massachusetts, highlighting areas that may help us to understand why so many districts are struggling. 
  2.  Overview with a panel discussion on issues raised in the slide show and by participants in the forum. 
  3. Identifying action steps individuals and groups can take that will lead to more fully funding our schools.  

We have the money in Massachusetts, and our children, who are our future, deserve the very best education we can provide for them.  Please join us at our education funding forum on March 14 at 7 pm.  

Slide presentation that we will go through during the forum:
