SSubject: Urgent: Save Milford Schools
Dear [Board of Aldermen Member’s Name],
I am writing as a concerned citizen to urge you to fully restore the $1,286,419 reduced from the Board of Education’s adopted budget.
This reduction is not just a number — it threatens the real progress Milford Public Schools have made this year. The proposed budget was already lean, designed only to meet rising fixed costs, unfunded mandates, and the loss of federal funding. Cutting further will directly result in eliminating programs, staff, and opportunities for our children.
If this cut is not restored, we are looking at:
– A potential forced closure of Harborside Middle School—before the long-range plan is finalized
– Increased class sizes in elementary in middle schools
– Cuts to STEM, world languages, and music in elementary schools
– Elimination of after-school clubs and summer athletics
(click here to see a complete list of cuts being considered)
All of which would compromise the promising momentum in academic growth we’ve seen this year.
Over the past 18 months, the Board of Education has worked in good faith, with community input, to create a thoughtful Long Range Facilities Plan that addresses school consolidation in a smart, sustainable way. This cut undermines that careful planning just as it nears completion.
[Insert your personal story here — for example:
How has your child benefited from recent improvements in Milford schools?
What programs matter most to your family?
What concerns you most about this potential cut?]
Please stand with Milford families and children. I respectfully ask you to restore the $1,286,419 in education funding and allow the Board of Education to complete the work they’ve started on behalf of all of us.
Sincerely,
[NAME]
