Reading is elemental in life and by eliminating this program you are setting these children up for failure. Please do not make the mistake of being short sighted in this difficult time and instead keep your eye on the endgame for Troy’s students, who will be the leaders of tomorrow. Thank you

The reading department is much more important than the administrative positions that have been created over the last 7 years! Cut administration and cut administrative salaries!

My son has a severe reading disability! This decision the district came to is it’s going to be so detrimental to not only my child but other children with reading disabilities!

Get rid of your over staffed Admin before your teachers!

Reading teachers can’t be replaced by computer programs. Learning is about relationships. How do you have one with a program? Find another way. Look at cuts to administration not to the front lines!

I am a teacher in the Troy City School District . I have taught first grade for most of my 30 years. This will have a huge negative impact on the students. A classroom teacher and do the same job as a reading teacher without someone losing out. Many of my students had the opportunity to work with me and also receive even more instruction from their reading teacher. I urge the district to look somewhere else to make their cuts.

My child is currently in the reading program. This is very concerning not just for our family but for all the families that are receiving the reading help that there children need.

This department is crucial to the children of Troy. There is absolutely no reason that this department should be taken away from them.

Reading teachers are CRUCIAL. If it could be done without them, it would be! Cutting them is reckless and places this population of students at an extreme disadvantage.... especially those in need of services!!!

Too many children need the help of these essential teachers. To cut out the entire reading department would be a horrible decision
