BCDI Members and those who are concerned about PreK-12 education, we need you to share with your social networks to save after school funding!
Time To Act: Help Stop the Elimination of Federal Funding for Afterschool The Ask: Reach out to your US Congressional representative TODAY and ask them to support the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Program. The Why: President Trump's proposed budget eliminates funding for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program, the only dedicated federal funding for afterschool, before school, and summer learning. It's now up to Congress to counter the cut-or eliminate 21st CCLC thereby getting rid of programs relied on by families across the nation to keep kids safe and engaged. If enacted, nearly two million children - and 20,000 in Indiana - would lose access to the high quality afterschool, before school, and summer learning programs they need. Last year, your outreach helped persuade Congress to protect afterschool, but we need your help again to let Congress know that these programs are vital to our state. Reach out to your Congressmen TODAY to let them know that these programs are vital to our state. The ACTION:
Messaging: Contact Congress Today! Paste the message below into the contact box provided when you visit the Congressperson's website below. Or better yet, call their offices and leave a message with their aid! The Message: Please support the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program, the only federal funding for afterschool, before school, and summer learning programs, in the FY19 and final FY18 budgets. If eliminated, nearly two million children - and 20,000 in Indiana - would lose access to the high quality afterschool, before school, and summer learning programs that help put them on a path to success in college, career, and life. Thank you for your service and for your leadership for the children of Indiana. The evidence is clear: 21st Century Community Learning Centers across the country help our students reach their full potential.
