On April 19, 2013, the Appropriations Committee of the General Assembly proposed a 70% cut in the funding for Catholic School Bus Transportation -- a cut from $3,595,000 to $719,100. This legislative action represents an extremely unfair reduction of funding and places an undue burden on the parents/guardians of Catholic School students:

THE GOOD NEWS: We, as Catholic School Parents, have a chance to reverse the Appropriations Committee’s unfair reduction of these funds before the final State Budget is approved in late May/early June.

THIS ALERT IS A “CALL TO ACTION,” SO PLEASE: ALL PARENTS, STUDENTS AND FRIENDS OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLS SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE GOVERNOR AND EACH OF THE FOLLOWING KEY LEGISLATIVE LEADERS AT THE STATE CAPITOL AND ASK THEM TO REVERSE THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE 70% CUT TO CATHOLIC SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION.
