Galt High School
Posted by 260 Miles of Blogging on Apr 15
Today we traveled 8.7 miles from Lodi to Galt High School. It is also Tax Day, a day we all kind of dread but at the same understand its importance to our society. One of the most powerful images of the day was a poster that listed the top tax debtors of 2009. One of them was local to the area, Karl Hamel who owes $402,517 in taxes. At Galt High School, their local drama program is under threat of being cut.
At the end of the rally, everyone signed a California Bill or Rights. Galt students read them: "The right to affordable higher education that does not leave students indebted for yours" "The right to free, quality public education from early childhood to community college."
