The PUSD school board is attempting to cut funding to school libraries, which will negatively affect students in many ways.
If you’re a student, the Pleasanton Unified School District school libraries benefit you in ways you might not have even thought of.
The library being open throughout the day allows students to access literature, which gives young students open access to literacy, as literacy rates drop all over America. This change would drop our district levels below the neighboring districts.
As a school district, it’s their job to provide literacy to children, but they are actively attempting to cut that, which goes against their best interests.
School libraries should also stay because they’re a primary place to foster community in schools. Our libraries make it simple to gather things like Book Fairs, clubs, and more.
How can I stay informed about this?
I will try to update this site with new information, but in the meantime, you can pay attention to school board meetings with help from the sites below.
How can I take action?
Consider attending School Board meetings and voicing your concerns.
Spread the word to friends, family, and more people who may be unaware.
