SHELTON AT GPSC TODAY

Don't miss it!
Pres. Shelton will be at the GPSC meeting tonight, 6-8pm in Law 168!

*There will certainly be members of the press and other administrators at the meeting, so bring your outrage, but keep it professional.

In the news today:

TUSD hands out 600 pink slips: http://www.azstarnet.com/dailystar/287908.php
For those of us who've always thought to ourselves, "If I get sick of this graduate school stuff, I could always teach high school", this is disappointing. More seriously, though, it means that the state of our public schools is in crisis. Students who don't have the education they deserve at the elementary and secondary levels are at high risk of either not making it to college, or not performing to their full potential in college, making everyone's jobs harder and further excluding valuable and inteligent students from academia.

TUSD blames this situation on the legislature's failure to act on the budget. Have you e-mailed, called or written to your legislators lately?
