In an update Wednesday, Aurora Public Schools announced that all APS schools will be closed Thursday in response to a planned rally protesting cuts to education funding. The decision comes as community members express their concerns regarding the impact of budget reductions on local schools and students.
The protest is expected to draw significant attention, with parents, teachers, and students rallying together to voice their opposition to the funding cuts that they believe will adversely affect educational quality and resources. Organizers of the rally emphasize the importance of adequate funding for schools to ensure that students receive the support they need to succeed.
School officials have stated that they prioritize the safety and well-being of students and staff, which influenced their decision to close the schools on Thursday.
