ATTENTION ALL STAMFORD CT PARENTS:

ATTENTION ALL STAMFORD(CT) PARENTS:

WE NEED YOU TO CALL THE BOARD OF FINANCE AND THE MAYOR THIS WEEK.

Because they are not willing to raise taxes 2.65%, our schools stand to lose over 5 million dollars

This will mean:

Closing Turn of River Middle School, Davenport or Toquam

PLUS:

Moving to half day kindergarten and/or;
Losing more than 40 teachers and/or;
Losing all extracurricular activities and /or;
Losing elementary school music and /or
Reducing AP classes.

Closing one school will mean all other schools will get larger. EVERYONE will be affected.

Closing one school will not even save enough money to get us halfway to $5 million.
WE NEED YOU TO TELL THE BOF AND THE MAYOR THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY 2.65% MORE IN TAXES

The Mayor has been absent during this entire struggle. He refuses to come to BOE meetings, did not come to the public hearing and has not explained his reasons for cutting the boe budget.

We need you to tell them that you will hold each of them responsible for lasting damage to our school system and city if they cut the board of education budget.

Here are the numbers to call (at the very least please email):

Mayor Pavia: 203-977-4150; mpavia@ci.stamford.ct.us
Gerald Bosak: 203 223-2567; gbosak@aol.com
Kathleen Murphy: 203-324-1423, kathleen.murphy@greenwichct.org
Joseph Tarzia: 203-325-8081; jtarzia@optonline.net
Robert Kolenberg: 203-329-2962; bkolenberg@optonline.net
Tim Abbazia: 203-323-9764; tabbazia@optonline.net
Mary Lou Rinaldi 203-322-9655;

PLEASE MAKE THESE CALLS ASAP- THE BOF WILL VOTE APRIL 6

Tell your friends and family as well; this is not simply a school issue, this will ultimately affect all of Stamford residents.

Thank you,
