It’s Back to School and Back to the Fight for Fair Funding!
Students thrive when they’re back at school with their peers learning the skills that they need to succeed. Our schools offer so much to our learners, but there are serious problems that can only be solved through adequate funding:
Bigger class sizes year-over-year.
The increase in violent incidents in our hallways and classrooms.
Heat stress, which impacts both learning and working. Crumbling classrooms — some with leaking roofs, mold and questionable air quality.
Support for students with special education needs is decreasing, even as they are integrated into “inclusive” classrooms.
Fewer frontline staff means less resource support for ALL our students.
Staff within our schools are doing their best to keep our schools functioning and engaging — even with $1,500 less per student each year! The dedication and commitment of our teachers, administrators, education workers in keeping our schools safe and functioning is commendable.
