A parent group in Chesterfield County has scheduled seven rallies in the next three weeks to show support for public education in these tough economic times. The Chesterfield Citizens for Excellence in Education will kick off the events with their first rally at Harrowgate Elementary School today at 7 p.m. “We encourage all parents to attend these rallies to voice their support for public education in Chesterfield,“ Stella Y. Edwards, president of the County Council of PTA/PTSAs, said in a statement. “We cannot afford to sit idly by as our children’s future is affected by decisions made today.“
