I just found out that they are CLOSING the Sussex branch of head start! The kids( 40 to 60) are getting BOOTED from the program, and it will NO LONGER be offered to OUR side of the county, because there is no "need" for the program! This is one of the pre-school my childrens attended, and it is a WONDERFUL program for the kids. There were alot of children who have benefited from this program! There is a need on our side of the county. The problem is that many familes make "to much money." The average income needed is under 29,000 a YEAR! I know many people who could have benefited from the program but they made 30k or 32k working full time and going to school and were a family of 4 or more!!!! Many "homeless" children benefited from this program and gave them stability and structure in their lives when everything else was a mess. I am asking anyone on my facebook who has used this program, know someone who has, or just believe in kids getting a pre-school education ( even when parents cant afford it) to please help and try to save sussex head start! There are wonder staff members who go above and beyond for these children and their families!!!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO WRITE A LETTER OR PETITION OR SOMETHING IF WE CAN TRY TO SAVE THIS PROGRAM!!!
THESE KIDS AGES 3 to 5 NEED A VOICE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE ADULTS WHO DEICDED TO SHUT DOWN THE PROGRAM ARE NOT LISTENING TO THEM!!!
