BUDGET CUTS THREATEN
TRANSPORTATION TO CATHOLIC
SCHOOLS
Currently, towns are obligated to provide transportation to our Catholic schools. The current budget
threatens this mandatory obligation of boards of
education to provide safe transportation services.
The budget under discussion threatens this obligation, which will result in a significant burden to our
schools. It is imperative that Catholics unite and
call the Governor and the leaders of the Senate
and the House in order to protect, preserve, and
restore safe transportation for our Catholic
schools. Here are phone numbers to call:
Gov Dannel Malloy 800-406-1527
Sen. Martin Looney 860-240-8614
Rep. Brendan Sharkey, 860-240-8541
“Please restore and protect mandatory, safe, and
reliable transportation services for our Catholic
school children. Our schools save the state $420
million.”
