The Legislature is considering cuts of $7.2 Billion from Public Education this year and $9 Billion more next year.  What this means for us in New Haven:  

 

  • 118 fewer teachers in the district
  • No Class Size Reduction in Grades K-3 and 9th Grade Math and Language Arts
  • Larger Class Sizes - 48 per Class!  Less personalized instruction
  • No School Busing
  • Reduction in the number of counselors
  • Reduction of classroom aides.
  • Reduction in Classified Staff
Currently our state ranks 47th out of 50 in per pupil spending, and this proposed 16 Billion Dollar cuts would place us even lower!  
 
So please take 5 minutes and call or write your Senator and Assembly Member and Governor!
