Several big policies, including the Governor’s Omnibus School Choice and Parents’ Rights bill (Vouchers), school funding and tax relief, are on the agenda for the Statehouse this week. They are all related. UEN is encouraging the legislature to take a balanced approach, position public schools for success, and consider measured tax relief that does not dampen the State’s future ability to adequately fund schools. We encourage our members to engage in thoughtful discussion and advocacy, respecting our state leaders who are wrestling with these big issues and encouraging advocates to build positive relationships going forward.
