My name is Rebecca Chartrand. I teach French at Brookside Primary School. I attended the Harwood Unified Union School District School Board meeting on May 8 knowing that the HUUSD administration would be proposing a third budget to go to voters. What I didn’t expect was for them to be eliminating the entire elementary world language program K-6.

Voting yes on this second budget before or on April 30th is crucial for HUUSD being able to maintain quality education.
