What we can do together …

• Accept that fair funding is the responsibility of every group in a community.
• De-mystify the complexities of school finance so that every member of the community fully understands the issues and decisions to be made.
• Seek information and get involved in discussions around funding and inquire about how your schools are funded in comparison to others locally and in the state.
• Encourage legislators to support appropriate measures to support fair funding at the state and local levels.
• Be pro-active in monitoring and correcting the inadequacies that arise as a result of funding inequities.
• Look at your schools and find out how monies are being spent.
• Advocate for appropriate resources for all youth.
• Insist on comparability in resource allocations for staffing, facilities, curriculum and materials.
