The Kent Education Association is holding a 47th District Legislative Town Hall this month to try to stop more budget cuts from the state.
The meeting is a part of the American Education Week, which runs from Nov. 14-18. The discussion is from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Nov. 15 at the KEA office, located at 10427 S.E. 244th St.
KEA members and Kent School District leaders will talk about the negative impacts more cuts would have on the schools, teachers and students. The goal is to put a message together laying out the ideas from the discussion, to give to the Legislature.
State Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, and State Rep. Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, are scheduled to attend the event. State Rep. Mark Hargrove, R-Covington, had hoped to attend the event but will be away on a business trip.
