Legislative Update: March 12, 2021
We're halfway through the 2021 Legislative Session and the attacks on public education and workers have ramped up this week. Bills to permit education savings accounts and to prohibit the payroll deduction of union dues are moving quickly.
Legislative Update: March 5, 2021
Two bills now moving through the state Legislature could drain half a billion a year from our public schools. That’s one-quarter of the total state education budget for our schools for fiscal year 2019-2020. It could mean the loss of up to 3,000 full-time teaching and service personnel positions.
Our schools are starved for funding already. These bills would threaten the very future of public education in our state.
Legislative Update: Feb. 26, 2021
Just a little over two weeks into the 2021 Legislative Session and the bills attacking public education and employees continue to move.
