Town Hall Education MeetingBrevard County Florida public schools are facing $66 Milllion in budget cuts for the 2009-2010 school year in order to offset state and local revenue shortfalls.

There will be a Town Hall Education Meeting held at the Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts on Monday, February 23, 2009 at 7:00 PM.  The meeting is being sponsored by the Brevard Federation of Teachers, The Brevard Association of School Administrators and the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades. It is being held as an effort to persuade Florida legislators to find an alternative to these budget cuts.

The budget cuts could affect some 1000 Brevard County teacher's jobs, some performing arts programs, some elective programs,  junior varsity sports programs and some school busing programs, just to name a few.

We are asking all teachers, and Brevard County parents and students to attend this very important meeting. It is essential that our voices be heard.

We hope to see all of you there!

Hi Sandy

I have been to the budget meeting in Palm Beach County; all the local governments are facing the same issues. It's time to go back to zero based budgeting.

Good luck and success

Sandy I hope it works out that teachers' jobs don't get the axe. In Dallas in the fall everything was going along merrily and then due to an "accounting error" hundreds of teachers lost their jobs. This was so stupid. Hopefully Brevard is figuring out what is going on ahead of time. Times are tough.

Sandy, I hope this meeting is productive and the cuts don't affect your children's quality of education...

Hi Lou, I know that this is a problem across the country.

Gary, I hope that teachers don't lose their jobs.  We'll have to see.

Ken, I'm not sure, we will all know more after we attend tonight's meeting.

Paul, I hope this doesn't affect the great programs available to our kids. I agree.
