Please tell Governor Crist and the Florida Legislature that academic enrichment programs designed to keep kids in school are not optional. Programs like Jobs for Florida's Graduates, Girls Get IT, VOiCE (Victory Over Instability by Choosing Education) and SUPERB (Students United with Parents and Educators to Resolve Bullying) are essential in increasing Florida's high school graduation rate.

I honestly never imagined this would reach 250 signatures when I started it. This response belongs entirely to the people who cared enough to step up and speak for these students.

I am truly overwhelmed by the messages you have sent about how these programs changed your lives. It is clear that this is about more than just funding because it is about the future we want for our students. Please know that I am working hard to share your stories with the people in Tallahassee who need to hear them.

I am honestly stunned to see so many people backing this effort to protect our enrichment programs. We are right on the verge of hitting one hundred names and I know this momentum belongs to you. Please keep pushing so we can show the Governor that these students are worth fighting for.

Ridiculous to cut funding for kids futures. These programs keep them off the streets and in the books. Keep it open!

VOiCE was a lifesaver for my son. He was ready to drop out until he found this. DO NOT CUT THIS.

Florida schools are already struggling enough. Stop cutting the programs that actually work.

The graduation rate is already low enough as it is. Why get rid of the things that help students reach the finish line?

My daughter is in Girls Get IT and it really helped her confidence. Please dont take this away from these kids.
