Dear Green Woods Families,
As you may know, Pennsylvania Governor Wolf announced his budget proposal last month. His proposal includes significant cuts to special education funding for charter school students in Pennsylvania. Charter schools in Pennsylvania could see over $280 million in cuts while Philadelphia charters could see almost $113 million in cuts.
For Green Woods, this would result in almost $900,000 in cuts--- a significant impact to our annual budget. It would devastate our school financially and impair our ability to operate as we currently do.
We need your help! For these budget cuts to happen, they need to be passed by the Pennsylvania legislature. That means our local State Senator, Vincent Hughes, and State Representative, Pam DeLissio, need to hear from you to stop this legislation.
If you want to advocate for the students at Green Woods Charter School:

My daughter has finally started making progress thanks to the extra support at Green Woods. Dont take that away.
Keep our kids in mind for once. GWCS is a great school and these cuts would hurt every single student there.
Total madness. Funding education should be the priority not slashing it to pieces.
UNACCEPTABLE. Do not touch that money.
Ridiculous to target the kids who need the most help. Leave the budget alone.

My son gets the help he needs here. Cutting this funding is just plain cruel. Stop this now.
