Save our Kindergarten

Stop the proposed cuts to our district's FULL DAY KINDERGARTEN.

While we all understand the required budgets cuts necessary for the upcoming school year, cutting Kindergarten to a half day is a step backwards for our students, school district and entire community. To balance a budget on the backs of the youngest and smallest people in our community, who's voices are hard to hear, is shameful.

We are asking the Board to reach out to the various Unions for possible pay freezes or concessions, and to also look else where for things to cut. From information in our community, there is possibly a Union willing to discuss a pay freeze. Our concern is the representative may not be sharing this with the Board and the other members of this Union.

Why is this important?

This is a petition to keep South Huntington FULL DAY kindergarten. With the heavy budget cuts necessary for this coming school year, the Board of the SHUFSD as opted to cut Kindgergarten to a half day.
