House and Senate Budget Bills!
Lawmakers in both houses will be working furiously through the weekend to hammer out numbers and write bills in time to introduce on Monday. They need an urgent reminder that public education must be the #1 priority.
What could that mean? Here are some ideas:
1. Increased funding of at least $100 million for District
2. Additional Assistance (basic essentials like textbooks, computers, building maintenance, and bus repairs)
3. Increased funding of at least $20 million for school districts' choice of counselors, social workers, or security officers
4. Fulfillment of the next 5% of the Governor's 2018 "20x2020" teacher pay raise plan
5. Passage of Senate Bill 1485, phased rollback of STO growth (private school tax credits)
6. Absolutely ZERO ESA voucher shenanigans
