# [#]The Columbian:
“Skamania County schools funding in jeopardy”


John,

Since day one, Marie has made it a top priority to advocate for rural communities in Southwest Washington, and she’s not letting up now.

Rural school districts have already been forced to endure painful budget shortfalls in recent decades, and right now they’re facing the possibility of further drastic cuts that will jeopardize schools’ ability to provide basic services.

Marie is calling on Congress to invest in the equality of our children’s opportunities, making sure rural schools aren’t left behind. If you agree that where your kids live shouldn’t determine the quality of education they receive, add your name here: [[link removed]]

A decline in federal funding has already forced school districts in rural Southwest Washington to combine schools and lay off staff – and if they lose funding entirely, it would mean further layoffs, inability to repair aging facilities, and even cutting down to a four-day school week.

Time is running out to reauthorize the federal funding program upon which these schools rely, and Marie is working hard to bring those dollars home.

Our children deserve access to an education that provides opportunities and helps prepare for their futures, regardless of zip code. If you agree, add your name here: [[link removed]]
