Letter: Union campaign over school funding is not scaremongering
Copy of a letter to Daniel Kawczynski MP.

Dear Daniel
You are aware of the current campaign regarding school funding being run jointly by NUT and ATL.
In fact, one of my members emailed you recently regarding the effect it would have on schools within your constituency. You described our campaign as "irresponsible scaremongering". I wish to highlight why this is far from the case.
Philip Hammond, in the Autumn Statement, reaffirmed the government's intention to cut schools' and colleges' budgets by eight per cent in real terms by 2020. This, coupled with the higher pension and national insurance costs being imposed creates a funding crisis.
