BRU officers and members joined our colleagues from around the State to demand funding for schools and stating loud and clear: “We’re not gonna take it anymore!” In addition to the OCEA leaders, speakers included Dr. Kitty Boitnott (VEA President); Robley Jones, VEA Director of Government Relations; Kathy Burcher the PTA legislative director; Dr. Robert Grimmesy, Orange Superintendent; and Senator Ed Houck. Kyle Wormuth (OCEA) spoke eloquently about how the cuts to K-12 wll personally affect him; and several students gave heart-felt pleas to the General Assembly not to dismantle their schools. Our Rally is just the beginning! I hope the Governor and the General Assembly heard us LOUD AND CLEAR: WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!
