Special Education Parents Advisory Council (SEPAC)

Please read the following from the Scottsdale Parent Council:

Dear Parents and Friends of Public Education,

We need your support TODAY! We would like to send a note to our Legislators letting them know that we only want a budget that includes a solution for public school utilities. So we are circulating a virtual petition and hope you will sign.

If you agree with the statement here below, please send your name AND address to spc@scottsdaleparentcouncil.org.  By doing so, you will confirm your support of the statement AND be giving us permission to use your name in a petition to our legislators and others at the State government.

Thank you for taking the time before summer break to try to make an impact on your child’s education and public schools across our State.

Together we can make a difference!

Francesca Thomas, SPC Legislative Liaison

We, as voters and parents, support funding actual utility costs for schools. These are basic operational costs that we expect the state to cover without raising local property taxes. Without these dollars, impacts to staff and programs will be unavoidable. We are not asking for extra, only for what schools need to operate- a responsibility that is clearly the State’s. As local districts, we support over-and-above the basic needs with our local tax dollars. But we refuse to pay the State’s share too. Please support a budget that holds our districts responsible for conserving energy and the State responsible for covering basic operational costs.
