We are opposed to the cuts to the Community Education Programs in the Hewlett Woodmere 2013/14 proposed budget. We feel that these programs are extremely beneficial to the community. The elimination of these programs will be a real loss to the community. We ask that the Board and the Superintendent reconsider making these devastating cuts.
The feedback from our latest board meetings has been exhausting and mostly dismissive of our concerns. I am spending my evenings gathering the data needed to force a real conversation about these budget priorities.

Reaching this level of support has been a long and exhausting process. It is heavy to see how many of you feel the same deep concern for these programs. We have a difficult path ahead but your persistence keeps me moving.

Ridiculous! We pay enough in taxes already. Why is the first thing they go after always the programs that actually help our families?

So upset about this. My daughter loves the art classes and it would be a shame to lose that opportunity.

This board has no clue what they are doing. Stop cutting community services immediately.

These programs are the only reason my kids have anything to do after school. Please reconsider this.
