ACTION ALERT
Dear SJGS Families:
The New Jersey Catholic Conference and the Diocese of Trenton recently forwarded an Action Alert regarding the Governor’s Budget for the School Year 2018 - 2019. The full text of this Action Alert is posted here and on our website.
The new budget contains funding cuts in non-public school programs significantly reducing funding in the areas of transportation, nursing services, technology and school security. Transportation is being reduced back to the previous amount and will greatly affect our students.
As Principal of St. Joseph Grade School, I am seeking your help and support in contacting the New Jersey State Legislature to express your disapproval of these funding cuts by accessing the Votervoice link below. It is a fairly simple process taking no more than five minutes of your time. There are two separate letters that will require your name and contact information: one to the budget committee members and one to the non-members. When you submit your completed form, you will receive an e-mail regarding a code. You may ignore that request, which is only necessary if you wish to change your contact information.
Please ask other family members and colleagues to contact the State Legislature about these cuts. The more people that express their disapproval the more impact we will have to create change. The budget cuts will negatively impact our children and this community. We are a powerful force when united in a common cause. Let our voices be heard to ensure the well-being of Catholic School students throughout the State of New Jersey.
Your help in reaching out to he State Legislature is greatly appreciated
Thank you and God Bless.
Madeline Kinloch, Principal
