WHAT:
Furlough Friday Rally
against loss of student instruction time
WHEN:
16 October, 2009 from 3:00-4:00pm
WHERE:
State Office Building
Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii
All parents, students, teachers, and members of the public are invited to a rally to send a message to the Governor, State Legislature, and the Department of Education, and Hawaii State Teachers Association that 17 Furlough Fridays this school year are not acceptable. The rally will be held at the State Office Building on Friday, October 16, 2009, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. The rally is being organized by parents of public school students.
“A special session of the State Legislature is needed to find a long-term funding solution that does not sacrifice instructional days for our youth,” said Tracy Murakami, parent of children attending King Kaumualii Elementary and Kapaa Middle Schools. “Action is needed NOW,” said parent Jack Yatsko, Kapaa Elementary School PTSA Board Member. “It is unacceptable that Hawaii public schools would have the fewest instructional days in the Nation if the furlough is implemented."
The rally is intended to show public outrage over decisions to reduce 17 instructional days this school year. Rally organizers ask that participants wear school colors and/or uniforms, protest with aloha, and use this as an opportunity to teach our youth about our basic democratic right to free speech. More information about the rally can be found on the Kauai Planning and Action Alliance website at: www.kauainetwork.org.
