Students fight for their program

Here is something you don’t hear about every day:

Students actually mobilizing politically to fight for a program that helps them greatly: The Governor’s Schools of Excellence Program. Gov. Rendell wants to drop the program to save 3.2 million. Nothing like helping the kids, right?

Well, they are fighting back … and one suggestion is that the state provides half the money, and private organizations the other half – so if you know anyone in business ask them to look over the article in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and find a way to rally with these kids.
