Two Crucial Chances to Support School Funding, this Wed 3/28

This is a reminder that there are two important events happening in the city on Wednesday, March 28, that concern everyone.

• First, Governor Deval Patrick will be visiting Gloucester at 2:15pm at the Cruise Port (Eliot’s Wharf). Please take advantage of this rare opportunity to make the highest-ranking elected official in the Commonwealth aware of your concerns about the funding of public schools.

• Also, at 7:00pm in Fuller School Auditorium, the Gloucester School Committee will be holding a PUBLIC HEARING. This is a chance to make your views known regarding the proposed closure of elementary schools, teacher lay-offs, and increased class sizes. Note: Childcare will be available in the Fuller Parent's Center.

Please come and bring your friends and neighbors with you.
