Cyber Alert - We Need to Call Our Legislators!
June 10, 2013 -- We can't stop now! We still need to call our legislators. We need them to continue to hear from us. We also need you to make sure that you call your senator and thank them for our schools. Share your stories with them. Let them know how important our schools are to our children. Ask them to vote no on any legislation that will hurt our schools.

Cyber Alert - Your Efforts Are Working
June 6, 2013 -- Your efforts are working! Please keep up the great work! The potential vote on HB 618 did not happen yesterday! But we can't stop now! We still need to call our legislators. We need them to continue to hear from us. We need to THANK them for their support of our schools and their pushback to this devastating legislation. If you haven't called your legislator, please do so today.

Cyber Alert - We Need You to Call Your Representative NOW!
June 4, 2013 -- Yesterday the House Education Committee voted House Bill 618 and House Bill 980 out of committee. These bills will now go to the House floor for a vote as early as tomorrow. If HB 618 or HB 980 pass, it would cut the funding for our public cyber schools by as much as 10-15 percent. This loss would be devastating for our schools. A dramatic cut like this would mean that all schools would have to cut staff, increase class size and reduce services. Smaller cyber schools have indicated that this cut will close their doors!
