Advocate for Education Funding: Priorities and Initiatives to Support Our Schools

Join us to advocate for essential funding at the School Finance Formula level, emphasizing the need to reclaim $15 million in Governor’s Budget cuts from last year. Our key priorities include early literacy initiatives, reducing teacher-to-coach ratios, enhancing Teacher Leadership & Compensation (TLC) programs, advancing STEM education, and implementing Competency-Based Education. We also address urgent mental health needs with a $1.5 million request. Share your ideas and insights at our next session on Feb. 11, 8:00-8:45 a.m.
