SCHOOL BUSES ON THE TRAIL TO THE STATE CAPITOL
Because members of NEA-Santa Fe understand the importance of visibility and political involvement, they’re signing up to travel on school buses to the state capitol during February to make their voices heard about the urgent need to fund public schools sufficiently. The effort is in cooperation with Santa Fe Public Schools which is providing the transportation and working with NEA Association Reps and the local’s representatives to plan.
February 25, 2009 will be a focal point when advocates for the city’s schools gather for Stand Up for Santa Fe Public Schools Day at the state capitol. Speeches, exhibits, and visits to legislators are expected to drive home the point to state elected officials that the schools in the state’s capitol deserve the funding and resources needed to do the job. The Open Forum is from 4:20 to 6 p.m. in the Rotunda of the State Capitol.
There will be six opportunities during February for school employees to board buses at their schools, or schools within a close proximity, and ride to the Roundhouse to lobby. The buses are a convenient way to participate and not have to worry about parking in the capitol district. NEA Association Reps have signup sheets for their schools. Administrative personnel are making announcements over the intercom, at staff meetings and building newsletters.
Ride to the Capitol with our SFPS employees, board members and community members who support our public schools.
