Rivergold P.T.A.

The turnout was great for Pink Friday.  Many teachers, staff, students, and parents wore pink to protest the thousands of pink slips issued to California educators in March (about 21 teachers in our district).  Thanks to everyone who helped–everything from sign holding to honking in support.  Rivergold teachers, staff, parents and students rock!

There is still more we can do…

EMAIL AND CALL:  Continue to email and call our representatives.  If you have not done so, their emails are in previous posts.  Your voice matters!

ATTEND MEETINGS:  There is a Budget Advisory Committee Meeting on March 24th at 6:30 pm at the high school.  This committee will make recommendations to the School Board.  It is made up of about 20 people across the district–the public is invited to attend.

Wear PINK on Friday, March 13^th to protest pink slips issued by YUSD.  Seven teachers between Rivergold and Coarsegold were pink slipped this past Wednesday.  About twenty-one educators in all received pink slips in our district.  Teachers will be passing out informational flyers before school on Friday, 13th.  Parents are welcome to help with this.  

EVERYONE  IS ASKED TO ATTEND A RALLY ON FRIDAY, 13TH AT 3:45 PM ON THE CORNER OF HWY 41 AND 49 IN OAKHURST.

Remember, continue to email the board to remind them that the purpose of our district is to educate children.  Impacting the classroom is the last option.  We have a commitment to the kids to look at other alternatives.
