Advocating for Change

Voters sent a simple message to Montpelier this year: scrap the way we fund our public schools. Sadly, Gov. Phil Scott has proposed a risky and reckless scheme that expands vouchers, consolidates power at the state level, and offers no real middle-class tax relief. We don’t yet have all the details – but we know enough now to say “no.” Won’t you join us in pushing back against this full assault on our local public schools?

As Vermont educators, you deserve to be paid a good wage, work in safe classrooms, and be allowed to collaborate with your colleagues as you teach the state’s children. Pledge your support now for Vermont Educators’ Bill of Rights.

Our students deserve our support. The best way to do right by Vermont’s kids is to invest in strong public schools that provide opportunities for ALL students. We know that schools with high quality teachers and support professionals; art, music, sports, and other offerings; strong academic programs; and extra support for students who need it are what we all want for our students and our communities. This spring, you have a chance to show your support for Vermont’s local public schools. And while we know that all the talk this year is about exploding tax rates, we know we can’t afford NOT to do right by Vermont’s students – our state’s future. So this spring, we invite you to learn, act, and vote.

Educators, parents, and communities are uniting for better school funding for our students.

You shouldn’t have to choose between following your passion and making a living.

You are the expert in your field. Your elected officials need to hear from you.
