60+ parent & faith leaders press JCBOE to invest $50 million into and in support of classrooms

Tonight, parent & teacher speakers pressed the JCBOE to #FundOurSchools. Supported by more than 60 parent, faith, and teacher leaders, speakers came from all across the city -- downtown, the West Side, Greenville, and the Heights. All were pressing for $50 million more to be invested into our classrooms & the schools.

They told stories about the impact of last years cuts & how the status quo cannot continue. It will take more money invested in & in support of our classrooms.
