There is a Jefferson County School board meeting tonight, and parent's are mad!
In Littleton Colorado, a newly elected school board is voting to take program funding away from the local public middle school, for the purpose of building a second charter school in the area.
The funding was for a math, science, engineering and mathematics program. The program was approved and funded by the previous board and parents have already sent in applications to have their children attend.
Here's the petition to stop it from happening:

The school board is obviously not interested in the needs of the local community. Building more charter schools is how you squeeze out teacher unions and bring in private enterprise. And we all know how that goes...
