Dear Governor Rauner, Script
Hello, my name is _____________________
Our program Teach For South Shore( T4SS) contracted under the Black
United Fund of Illinois was funded under the anti- violence education
initiative under former Governor Quinn. On January 29, 2015 we received
an email at 3:59 p.m. to cease operations due to budget cuts under the
new Rauner administration. Although we are not the only program cut that
provides social services so vitally needed in our communities, our
program provides a unique opportunity to address improvement in academic
achievement for our students in South Shore grades K-3. We desperately
need to maintain and create additional programs that serve the needs of
our children.
Teach For South Shore, (T4SS) is a program desperately needed to repair the infrastructure of our elementary schools in our community. This program brings experienced certified teachers back into the classroom to aide students who are most at risk for academic failure. We know that you have indicated that you will fund initiatives for K-12 education initiatives. Our goal is to provide academic support while developing social emotional competency. We believe that increases in social emotional growth leads to achievement in academic performance. We are asking that funding be restored immediately so that our program can convene.
Thank You ,
