Sample Letter to Legislators and Governor
Public school districts throughout the state of Pennsylvania depend upon aid from the state to effectively operate. Throughout the past three years both the Governor and legislators have significantly reduced the amount of state funds available for public education. I encourage you to contact members of the legislature and the governor in support of funding for public education. Attached is a sample letter and links to our local legislators and Governor Corbett for your use. Thank you.
Dr. Robert Urzillo
Superintendent
