Support the request for $2.1 million in bullet aid for public charter schools in Rochester
Why this petition matters
Rochester's public charter schools are expected to receive less money from the government because of changes in how their funding is calculated. This means each student in these schools might lose about $226.74, which is about 1.58% of their funding. There are 17 charter schools in Rochester, with about 9,187 students. So, all these students will be affected by this funding decrease.
Rochester's schools are already struggling, and charter schools help many disadvantaged students do better academically. But now, these budget cuts could hurt their progress. We're asking for about $2.1 million in bullet aid to make up for the money lost per student in Rochester's charter schools.
Please sign this petition and together lets request $2.1 Million in bullet aid for Rochester Charter students!
