Reported Catastrophic Cuts to the Coonley's Budget
Public Advocacy Sites have laid out how each school's budget would be affected by the reduction in funding. If no other funding is allocated, it is estimated that Coonley stands to lose from $800,000 to $1.5 million from our 2016-2017 budget. There is still time to act. We advocate for all families to join the movement. Our state lawmakers have the opportunity to begin to solve this crisis before their June recess.
