Parents’ forum tonight on school budget cuts

May 17, 2011

The group Parents United for Public Education will host a forum tonight to discuss the impact of possible state cuts in education funding that could jeopardize full-day kindergarten, free student public transportation and many other programs in Philadelphia public schools.

The forum will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the West Philadelphia Seventh Day Adventist Church at 46th and Haverford.

The School District of Philadelphia released a preliminary budget in late April that includes massive cuts in response to proposed cuts in state aid. The School Reform Commission has until May 31 to approve the budget.
