Notes from Marla
February ushered in like a lion on the education front. As I sat down to put together our February newsletter, action alerts were happening all over the country against new school choice legislation. At a time when lawmakers should be focused on supporting families and children, they decided to focus on defunding the bedrock of our communities….public schools. As you read through this newsletter, you will see state after state fighting school choice legislation (vouchers and charter expansion). If you know anyone living in states fighting school choice legislation, please pick up the phone, or send them an email, so they can connect with the organization in their state fighting for our kids to have well funded public schools.
