Myths & Facts

“This won’t affect classrooms.”

Without funding, staffing reductions increase class sizes and reduce programs.

“Community input doesn’t matter.”

Public comments and turnout shape board decisions—voices are recorded on the public record.

“It’s too late to help.”

Not true—consistent presence and letters still influence outcomes.
