Dear Saber Families, Staff, and School Board Members,
Good afternoon. I wish I was coming to you with better news but the veto session has adjourned and the Invest in Kids bill did not get called to the floor for a vote. Speaker Welch would not allow it to come for a vote even though there were both Democrats and Republicans who supported the measure and it would have passed. He played politics with our kids. He is also a coward for not standing up to the teachers unions and doing what is right.
Moving forward we will be considering all of our options for how to ensure no student, both current and future, is turned away due to financial hardship. The rest of this school year is safe. Our efforts will focus on the next school year and beyond.
Politically, you should ensure your local representatives know how displeased you are that the legislator failed our kids. The next election should have a consequence for their failures and how cruel they were in stringing this out for so long. They gave thousands of families false hope and should be held accountable at the voting box.
We will endure and we will carry on. We have God's unending grace and love and can do all things through him.
All my best,
Anthony
