PROTEST Mass School Closures & Layoffs
October 9 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Short URL: https://seattledsa.org/?p=35213
Seattle Public Schools is gearing up to close 20+ Elementary schools and layoff staff. This represents the largest school closure in the country and one of the biggest attacks on public education in decades. This coming at a time where the corporations that call Seattle home are experiencing stratospheric profits and the Seattle City Council has found $170 million in back pay for the police. Seattle DSA’s Save Our Schools is demanding to Tax the Rich and big business to fully fund education, lower classroom sizes and to support the Big 5 Plan for equitable and fully funded public schools.
To win this we need educators, support staff, Seattle Education Association, parents, students, and the broader community to come together to build a movement and pressure the Seattle School Board and the Democratic Party dominated Seattle City Council and Mayor to not go forward with these draconian cuts.
Join us on Wednesday, Oct 9, at 3pm at the Seattle School Board Meeting at the John Stanford Center (2445 3rd Ave S).
