[WardFive] Fwd: 'Restore Librarians to DC Schools' on Change.org

Subject: Update about 'Restore Librarians to DC Schools' on Change.org

Date: February 3, 2013 11:47:15 PM EST

Reply-To: "Change.org" <no-reply@change.org>

Dear Save School Librarians petition signers,

Thank you very much for your support of our Save School Librarians efforts in DC. We started this fight for libraries many months ago and, thanks to your support and the School Libraries Task Force's hard work, the Chancellor has publicly committed to a library and librarian in every school. But now we need the Chancellor to allot the funds to fulfill that promise.

There is now a $400 Million budget surplus (a recently announced increase from the $140M surplus previously) in the city budget. This is many times more than the estimated $40 Million needed to provide all DCPS schools with the books, other library materials, technology, and music resources that they urgently need. But, for that to happen, we need to urge the Mayor and Chancellor to immediately allot some of the surplus budget for schools now, and not, as they have decided, to save the surplus for a "rainy day fund." DC schools are in trouble and they need immediate help to save them.

Please take a few minutes to email or call the Mayor and Chancellor today and urge them to spend at least $40M of the $400M on schools:

Mayor Vincent Gray
vincent.gray@dc.gov
202-727-6300

Chancellor Kaya Henderson
kaya.henderson@dc.gov
202-442-5885

and please continue to urge your friends to sign this petition.

Thank you, as always, for your support of school libraries and schools.

Sincerely, Bella Dinh-Zarr

FYI
DC's former chancellor is returning to discuss her book "Radical: Fighting to Put Children First". She will be here Thursday at Sixth and I Historic Synagogue. Maybe she will talk about erased test scores or school closings in DC. Cost $12 or two free tickets with a book purchased at the synagogue. Alice
