Letters to BESE Board Members

Hi everybody again!

Do you know that the BESE plan to approve the budget cuts for LSD this coming Thursday??

We will have a peaceful rally tomorrow morning. I'd like to have you there for the rally.

There is one more thing that we should do ... to email to the BESE members

NOT to approve the recommended budget cuts for LSD.

Here are three samples of the letters that you can choose one that you like and email to the BESE members.

3 samples:

1.   Dear Board Members,

            Please DO NOT cut the budget at the Louisiana School for the Deaf.

    We need all the staff at LSD to continue the school we all know and love.

    Thank you.

    Sincerely,

   (Your name and address)

 

2.    Dear Board Members,

        Ms. Liz Moore and Mr. Kevin Lemoine are recommending budget cuts

at the Louisiana School for the Deaf that will result in the cutting of 69 staff

at the school. Considering the fact that the school was closed in

October, 2008 in order to improve the safety of the children at LSD, it

seems unrealistic to achieve this goal with less staff to ensure their safety.

        If "safety" truly is the primary concern for LSD, then it makes sense

to keep all the positions at the school and maybe even add more. Please do

not approve the recommended budget cuts for LSD. Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    (Your name and address)

 

3.    Dear Board Members,

        I am writing to ask you NOT to cut the budget for the Louisiana

School for the Deaf. As a concerned deaf person, I want the only state

school for the deaf to continue to grow so that future generations of deaf

people like me will have a place to learn and grow into productive citizens.

Please do not approve the recommended budget cuts for LSD. Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    (Your name and address)

 

Please use the email address (bese@la.gov) to the Board Members:

    Mr. Dale Bayard                    Mr. Keith Guice

    Mr. John L. Bennett              Ms. Linda Johnson

    Ms. Glenny Lee Buquet        Mr. Walter Lee

    Ms. Penny Dastugue            Ms. Tammie A. McDaniel

   Mr. James D. Garvery, Jr.     Mr. Chas Roemer

    Ms. Louella Givens

 

Please make an effort to do that and save LSD!!!

Thanks,

Ed Wood
