Attached is the Communiqué from the Diocese
of Joliet for Catholic Schools Week. Link to
Communiqué
The Diocese has asked that we Urge Congress
to Support Equity in the Stimulus
Package...
The House and Senate will soon take up
a massive economic stimulus package that is
expected to include a substantial component
relating to PK-12 education. At a time when so
many religious and independent schools are feeling
the effects of the economic downturn, CAPE has
urged Congress to include private schools in the
package. There are many reasons and precedents for
doing so. We present the case here. Please
encourage Congress to provide equitable benefits
to students and teachers in private schools in the
stimulus plan. You can do so easily and quickly by
visiting CAPE's Legislative Action
Center. And be sure to urge friends,
families, and members of your community to do the
same.
Thank you for your help with this
important issue.
