ACTION ALERT: Governor Walz Budget Cuts

Take Action & Speak Out!

Dear Schoolcraft Community,

We  need your help. Governor Walz has released his updated budget and it includes significant cuts to charter schools, including cuts to students with disabilities. This is an unacceptable way to balance the budget, especially given the unpredictable nature of the Federal Government's role in education at the moment.

Will you please take 5 minutes to push back against these proposed cuts and ask Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan to stand up for chartered public school students, especially those with special education services.

Specifically, we ask that you:

• Email the Governor and Lieutenant Governor (template and directions in linked folder)

• Call your elected officials (See attached script and directions in linked folder)

• Link to Resource Folder Below

I know that many of you feel uncertain about this moment and how changes in D.C. and here at home, may impact your kids and our schools. It is really important that we make our voices heard on this issue and stand up for all of the students who attend our charter school, especially those with special education services.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.  Also, please share with those who may not have students at Schoolcraft, but value the education provided by chartered public schools.

In partnership,

Mark Bjornrud
