Fight for Public Education
Teachers have one of the most important jobs in our communities and their income should reflect that.
While the STARS act helped school districts increase teacher pay, its short-term nature made some very small schools hesitant to opt in. By prioritizing long-term investment in teacher pay, we are prioritizing the education, and therefore life-long productivity and fulfillment, of our young people.
A large investment now will pay off in the future with a well-educated population.
