“School shootings are rare events that mobilize people to take action. Our research suggests it is time to focus on prevention and mental well-being.” Quote from this link: |
SB 1028 | School Funding | SB 1028 will take money local voters approved for their neighborhood and magnet school facilities and divert it to privately owned charter schools. Please oppose. http://lwveducation.com/unfair-school-funding-bill-filed/ |
