NRUE operates on a shoestring budget to advocate for solid education in North Reading's Public Schools.
Three years ago on a budget of just
$1,300, NRUE's advocacy convinced town leaders to recommend a budget that returned more than $700,000 directly to North
Reading Public Schools, restoring valuable programs.
We need to continue our advocacy, but we cannot do so without financial support from parents and education supporters in North Reading. Please help us with a minimum suggested donation of $25 made payable to: North Reading United for Education
and send to Susan Shedd, 6 Fox Run, North Reading, 01864
