Public Education Matters

Squirrels School Bus StopSedona AZ (August 11, 2010) In a letter to the SedonaEye.com editor, KLM of the Village of Oak Creek, Sedona, Arizona, writes:

Attention: Everyone interested in Public Education in Arizona. Discuss education issues with all the state legislative candidates beginning August 19 2010 in Village of Oak Creek.

The budget news for Arizona for next year is still bleak. All of our local schools have reduced budgets for next year. Most laid off staff members and cut programs. We are hearing that we may face budgets cuts during the upcoming school year even before the budget for 2011-2012 is discussed. It is more vital than ever that we let our state legislature know that we view Education as a TOP PRIORITY for the state. Preserving and improving our public education system is vital for the future of Arizona’s economy. We need to be sure that ALL our elected officials view education as an essential INVESTMENT in our future and NOT as an expense.

Please come and let all the candidates for State Legislature and State Senate in LD1 hear your concerns.

I am hosting informal houseparties for each candidate. These are not fundraising events and I hope that Republicans, Democrats, parents, community members, teacher and board members attend each meeting. The meetings will be at my home in the Village of Oak Creek, Sedona. I do need RSVPs.

Please call me at 928-284-0001 or email me at klm@esedona.net and I will send you the directions.

The meeting dates are:

Wednesday, August 11 4 p.m. Noel Campbell, Republican Candidate for State Legislature;  Thursday, August 19 6:oo pm Karen Fann, Republican Candidate for State Legislature;  Thursday, August 26 4 p.m. Senator Steve Pierce, Republican Candidate for State Senate;  Rep. Andy Tobin , Republican candidate for State legislature will also be here in mid August (probably 8/13 or 8/20); Bob Donahue, Democratic Candidate for State Senate will be here the first week in September.

We are still finalizing dates.

PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO ANYONE ELSE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED!
