SUMMARY:Community Conversation on School Funding (in person)
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday April 13\, 2-4 pm at Crocker Farm Elementary School\, Support Our Schools (SOS) Amherst and the League of Women Voters will hold a Community Conversation on School Funding. \nThis is an opportunity for community members to come together to learn from one another about the current challenges around school funding in Amherst\, and to have an open\, collaborative conversation about how we can work together toward a shared goal of sustained\, equitable funding for our schools. Children’s activities and childcare will be available. \nOver the past year\, we have been told “NO” a lot\n\n\nNo – The schools can’t have more money\nNo – The Town can’t change anything about its budgeting process\nNo – You can’t say that you feel Councilors don’t care about our kids because that’s “uncivil”\nNo – You can’t say that education should be prioritized because that’s pitting one need against another\nNo – You can’t have more than two minutes to make a public comment\n\nOn Sunday\, we hope to move past some of these “NOs\,” to talk about why we bump up against so much resistance\, and how we can move forward!\n\n  \nSupport Our Schools (SOS) Amherst is a group of volunteers helping each other to understand issues and get involved in adequately funding our public schools. We aim to increase community knowledge of public school and municipal budgeting\, as well as state funding for public schools\, with the goal of ensuring more equitable funding for our schools. https://www.arpsparents.com \nThe League of Women Voters promotes political responsibility through its Voter Service and Citizen Education activities. Members register voters\, organize candidates’ forums\, publish voting guides and disseminate general information on the legislative process and the function of government on the local\, state\, and national levels. Voter Service and Citizen Education are designed to provide citizens with unbiased\, factual information as a basis for reaching their own decisions.  League Action is based on member study and agreement on selected issues and involves concerted efforts to achieve public policies consistent with League positions. The League neither supports nor opposes any political party or candidate for office. The League is a political but nonpartisan 501c4. The League encourages members to participate fully in the party of their choice as individuals. To learn more go to https://www.lwvamherst.org/. \n  \nParking map:
