Why me?

12/29/2013

 
Why did I get this email? TN Legislators have been receiving our emails from Tennessee parents over the past few months, and many of them said how much they appreciate the information we share with them.  We realized that School Board members & Superintendents need to hear from Tennessee Parents, too!  It took us awhile to find every Superintendent and school board member's email address in TN on 158 different district webpages (there are a LOT in TN), but with the new year, we are excited to send our emails to even more leaders in education in our State.
     
If you ever have any questions about our emails, just reply and ask us. 
 
Why do we send these emails?
because
you were elected by the citizens of Tennessee
OR
you were appointed or hired by someone
who was elected by the citizens of TN

Why is it important for me to read these emails?
Because parents in Tennessee want you to hear what we have to say.
We can't afford lobbyists.
We can't host fancy luncheons or cocktail parties to woo you.
We don't have the money to print glossy books full of smiling children, buzz words, and manipulated pie graphs.

BUT

We are aware of what is happening with our children and our public schools, and we are concerned.  That is why we are sending these emails to you.  We want you to hear our concerns.  We want you to understand and take action.


Who are we?
We are volunteers (and everyone knows that Tennessee Volunteers are a force to be reckoned with!).  We seek to make a positive difference for children and public education in our state.  We do this because we believe in public education, and we believe in TN.  Our group is growing stronger every day from across the State from east to west and in-between. We have organized, dedicated parents and teachers who are committed to children, and not corporate profits. We aren't paid a single penny for our time or work with this group.  In fact, the web hosting fees come out of our own pockets.  Please, listen to our voices.  What we tell you is important.

You can see who we are and read our past emails by visiting our website:  www.tnparents.org
