FAIR FUNDING FOR OUR FUTURE
November 18, 2015
To the Elected Officials for the State of Illinois;
The Chicago Public Schools’ Local School Councils, Chicago Neighborhood Organizations, Parents, Business Owners, and other taxpayers are calling for Springfield to support our students, schools, and teachers.
We will not tolerate officials who refuse to fund schools adequately, fund charter schools over neighborhood schools, misuse funds reserved for teacher pensions and place the burden on the taxpayers to double fund education (TRS & CTPF). It is time to address the inadequacies of State funding and move to efficient and supportive legislation that results in the best possible outcome: appropriate student services and teacher security.
It is imperative that the officials listen and act swiftly in support of our students. The CPS student body comprises 20% of Illinois students. Chicago Public Schools has been ignored by the State of Illinois for far too long.
We urge you to stand up for equitable funding!
Reapectfully,
Families, Students, and FriendsJaqueline B. Vaughn Occupational High School

The momentum behind our request for equitable school funding is undeniable. This level of engagement proves that taxpayers expect state leadership to prioritize the needs of our students.

We need our teacher's and school these kids are leaning so much since my child started high school that's all she talks about what she did and what's coming up.
Our students deserve an education and is the state responsibility to provide schooling and education for our children. The children are the future for this nation, we need the funding for our schools.
CPS needs your help. Allow us the opportunity to grow with the rest of Illinois student population. 20 for 20. Thanks
Fund Our Future: We need students, schools, and faculty safe and thriving. We do not need a constant state of crisis. Do what's right for our children!
Make wise decisions when discussing the future of education. How would you respond if it were your child sitting in the classroom? How much would you value their teachers and their security?
Please keep special ed schools open
Please support our students give them a fighting chance for a excellent education.
