Dear Parents,
The California State Legislature took action on Senate Bill 1432 that would end the District of Choice program after this school year. This would mean that your child could no longer attend another school out of his/her designated school unless we can convince the Legislature to change its mind, and we have only a short time to do this. We are asking you to contact the names below, by email and telephone calls, telling them how important this program is to your family, how bad it would be for you if it ended, and asking them to change their mind about Senate Bill 1432. Please call both the Capitol office and District office by the end of the day tomorrow (Friday Aug. 12) and no later than Monday (Aug. 15) by noon. In addition to the contact information below, please also call your local Assembly representative (on attached list) at both their Capitol and District office and let them know what this program means to your child and family.

La Legislatura Estatal de California hoy tomo acción sobre la medida SB 1432 que hubiera terminado el Programa de Distrito de Preferencia después de este año escolar. Esto significaría que su hijo o hija no podrá atender nuestras escuelas que usted ha elegido si no pueden convencer a la Legislatura que cambie su opinión, y solo tenemos un poco de tiempo para hacerlo. Le estamos pidiendo que contacte a los nombres debajo, por correo electrónico o por teléfono, diciéndoles que tan importante es este programa para su familia, que tan mal seria para usted si terminaría, y pidiéndoles que cambien su opinión sobre SB 1432. Por favor llame las oficinas del Capitolio y del Distrito antes del fin del día mañana (viernes, 12 de abril) y no más tarde que el medio día el lunes (15 de agosto). En adición a los contactos debajo, por favor llame a su representante en la Asamblea local (en la lista encontrada en el enlace) en sus oficinas del Capitolio y en el Distrito y déjeles saber qué significa a su hijo o hija y a su familia.
