Steel+Valley+Rally+Decries+State+Education+Cuts

==To accomplish that goal, a recently organized group of teachers, parents and other district employees and supporters calling themselves TEACH, for “Tell Everyone All Cuts Hurt,” distributed 300 signs criticizing Gov. Tom Corbett’s recently proposed $27.3 billion state budget, which the group contends doesn’t allocate enough for public education.==

==“Gov. Corbett’s Budget = All Children Left Behind” was a message on many of the signs distributed at an afterschool rally Wednesday on the edge of Homestead Cemetery at the busy intersection of Main Street and E. Twenty-second Avenue in Munhall.==

==“Take the signs and get the word out,” teacher Jill Fleming-Salopek told scores of teachers who attended the rally. Fleming-Salopek said TEACH has the support of the district’s teachers union, the Steel Valley Education Association, and that union funds paid for the printing of the first 300 signs.==

==On March 22, supporters of the Steel Valley Family Center rallied with signs in front of that facility on E. Eighth Avenue to raise awareness for a proposed $4 million line item cut on the budget that would eliminate appropriations for community-level family centers.==
