Hello Parents,
As you know, California is hit with a huge budget deficit and we will all be impacted in various areas especially education.
Fremont Unified is potentially going to cut $25 million from their operating budget. Since about 80% of their budget is personnel our school will potentially lose teachers, librarians, counselors, custodians, office staff etc.. This will impact programs, and increase class sizes. The overall foundation of our schools will be shifted and very hard to restore even if we recover the funds in the years ahead.
PTA's and other organizations are doing all they can to convince the Senators and Legislators that cuts to education breakdown the infrastructure that is important to a successful academic experience for our kids. Cuts made in any category have tremedous impact on the quality of education delivered and the also to the institution delivering the education.
This is the time when we all need to come together and do our part. You can begin by signing this petition and calling your legislators. Phone calls speak volumes and a united voice is what is needed.
Let's do what we can to save what we have.

Anjana Desai
Thornton Jr. High PTSA President.
