SCASL Legislative Alert: Contacts needed NOW

The Senate Finance Subcommittee responsible for K-12 education meets Wednesday to discuss next years budget. We need as many phone calls, letters, emails, faxes as possible to these senators before Wednesday
afternoon. They are Sen. Peeler, Chair, Sen. Setzler, and Sen. Hayes. SCASL supports the State Dept of Education’s budget request of $1 million for media-center materials; however, if possible we would like to see that amount increased to $5 million. We are requesting that the funds be recurring.

Any questions, please let me know.
As always, if you receive any comments from these gentlemen— let me know.
