Hello Matsunaga/Longview supporters,

This morning Superintendent Thomas Taylor sent an email to all MCPS staff and shared this video message detailing how the County Council's proposed budget cuts will affect MCPS and our schools.

The County Council straw vote (which has historically matched their final budget vote) is scheduled for Thursday, May 14th. That means we are almost out of time to advocate against the significant cuts to the MCPS FY27 Operating Budget.

The time for action is NOW! Please support the MESLV teachers and staff and call County Council members TODAY to let them know that these budget cuts will negatively impact our children!

Click below for a phone banking script that MCEA (the teacher's union) shared with its members which includes talking points to use when calling County Council members. Please use this information as a guide for how to speak with council members and their staff when making calls.

Support from parents and the community is crucial in order to get the attention of the County Council members and urge them to reconsider. Without hearing from us, there will be drastic cuts and layoffs in the near future. Please help put a stop to it by calling County Council members TODAY!

Feel free to share this message with friends, neighbors, and other concerned community members. These cuts will affect ALL schools in MCPS.

Thank you!

We're getting excited to celebrate our staff May 4th-8th! Look at how you can be involved Monday to Thursday in small ways that would make a BIG difference to our staff and PTA 💙🦎❤️🦁
