CHELTENHAM Student members of the Montgomery County Cultural Proficiency and Equity Student Ambassadors had one critical question for state legislators during a recent virtual town hall: âWhy arenât we spending more on education?â
Yasir Valentine, a senior at Cheltenham High School, posed the challenge during the town hall discussion, organized by the student organization and their adult consultant Carmina Taylor.
Since launching last February, the group has involved 80 high school students across eight different school districts in Montgomery County who are meeting monthly.
