And one school is grooming students to do the lobbying for them. Jill kasparie shows us what administrators are encouraging students to say. Ive got some things i want to share regarding School Funding and what it means to me. Its School Funding 101 for this group of Jefferson High School students as they prepare to go to the state capitol.

I have never really done anything like this before, but i know its important and i know that they are willing to talk to us, and they are willing to hear our stories, so hopefully mine will impact them. The district is encouraging the students to share their School Stories to express the funding needs. Advocating to the extent that they feel comfortable advocating, and if the kids feel like saying a number, thats great. Most importantly though id just like them to tell whats been great about their experience and what they would be concerned about losing that experience if we dont get funding that allows for that. Im in band and show choir and are pretty much my extracurricular activities, so seeing a cut to the budget would definitely hinder the experience i have and take away from school. Theyll have to wait and see if their lobbying efforts pay off. I dont know if it is going to work. I hope it does. The students visited the state house today to make their pitch in person.
