The Governor is currently working on his budget recommendation for next fiscal year. Our challenge is to convince him to include funding for the Textbook Loan Program in his budget proposal.
School staff, parents and parishioners please use this letter template (with mailing address) or write your own and send it to the Governor.
Feel free to personalize your letter. Talking specifically about what Textbook Loan has provided your school will be especially helpful. The Governor will be preparing his budget for the remainder of the month and perhaps into March, so there is plenty of time to get the word out, gather support and flood his office with letters.
Please do whatever you can to encourage broad participation. A high level of sustained grassroots engagement is essential to achieving our goals. The sample letter and this information can also be found on the CCI web site.
Please contact Zach Wichmann if you have any further questions.

- Holy Family Catholic School is continuing its efforts to bring legislative action information to you. Now, more than ever, we need to stay on top of the issues that impact our school because there will be economically challenging times ahead of us. This corner of our web site is where you can go for updated information on legislative issues. The last legislative session has been very difficult for non-public schools, with severe cuts in funding. Much depends upon on how the governor and legislature handle to budget deficit, and it is hard to predict what will come up. Whatever happens, we will keep you advised when to communicate with your legislators on particular bills.
