02/19/2010 4:22 PM by

Word is circulating of a rally against unfreezing the composite index this Sunday at the Capitol Building:

Parents & concerned citizens of Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover & Richmond will rally together at the Capitol Building on Sunday, February 21 at 12:30pm in support of the “SAVE OUR SCHOOLS – KEEP THE FREEZE” campaign, a response to Governor McDonnell’s recent proposed cuts and change in the Local Composite Index.

A more grassroots message going around says:

With Governor McDonnell’s cuts and a change in the Local Composite Index, Richmond Public Schools stands to lose over 38 million dollars.  But Richmond is not alone in this; Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield, Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Hampton Roads are in the same boat.  Our legislators need to know where we stand on this issue.  Please help us get out the word, and meet us at 12:30pm this Sunday, February 21st, at the Capitol Building in support of the “SAVE OUR SCHOOLS – KEEP THE FREEZE” campaign.  We encourage you to take a stand for the education of our children!
 
Please bring homemade posters, banners, ribbons, and buttons with “SAVE OUR SCHOOLS – KEEP THE FREEZE” as we rally together to keep our classrooms free of drastic cuts!
