As educators, parents, and community members we are being told by our legislators how much they value us, our students, and our public schools, but their dollars don’t match their talking points. As Jeffco educators we know there is a huge shortfall in education funding. Our pay has been stagnant, our resources have been spread thin, and often we are told we just have to wait for things to get better. We are tired of waiting. On April 26th we need to send a clear message to our legislators - if you value education, it’s time you start investing in us with dollars and not just words.
Come down to the capitol to lobby with our legislators, demand more funding, and tell them that in a booming economy, our schools deserve to be prioritized.
