Dear families,

The time is fast approaching for our cyber families "Day

on the Hill" in Harrisburg! I hope you have made plans to

attend the May 13 rally in the steps of the Capitol

building. It is more important than ever that we have a

strong showing of parents, students and supporters this

year.

It is school budget time, and it seems, it is also time to

blame public cyber schools for budget woes and tax

increases.

It is also a sure sign that powerful bureaucracies like

the Pennsylvania School Boards Association will continue

to attack our schools and continue to push the anti-cyber

school HB 446 with legislators in Harrisburg.

Our most effective defense is to let our representatives

know how vital public cyber schools are for our families.

Few other things will get their attention than a large

rally at the Capitol.

WE NEED YOU!

It just so happens that the PSBA's annual Harrisburg

summit is scheduled the week after ours. Comparisons will

be made, so consider it a personal challenge.

I know the members of this coalition have more fight and

dedication than a group of bureaucrats! Let's make sure

they see and hear the difference! Please make plans now

to attend.

WE NEED YOU!

The legitimacy and viability of our schools will be

decided in the halls, offices and meeting rooms of the

Capitol. Our schools need be recognized as a legitimate

alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar schools. If

not, they will be marginalized by severe funding cuts

which will ultimately close them down. This is a critical

time!

WE NEED YOU!

Please go to our website www.pacyberfamilies.org and

register today. We need to know how many people are

attending so we can make the proper arrangements. It will

take just a minute to register. You can collect a free PA

Families T-shirt for every member of your party when you

arrive at the Capitol.

See you in Harrisburg!

Stay Energized!

Jenny Bradmon, president
