Save I.S. 318's After-School Funding
For the past two years, the Bloomberg Administration has cut funding for vital after-school programs throughout the city, including I.S. 318 in Williamsburg. At I.S. 318, after-school funding supports the school's extra-curricular activities, including their chess team, the reigning national high school champions. The City Council has restored this funding year after year, but these cuts leave I.S. 318 and other schools in a precarious situation.
Sign the petition to urge Mayor Bloomberg to fully fund after-school programs in the Fiscal Year 2014 budget and to save I.S. 318's chess team and other after-school activities.

Why is this important?
I.S. 318's funding for after-school programs, including its national championship chess team, is at risk. After-school programs like these give students the opportunity to explore new interests and receive additional academic enrichment. Sign the petition to urge Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Mullgrav to fully fund these programs in this year's budget.
