School Funding- Do not remove funding from public schools

The recent legislative agenda, which includes the promotion of education savings accounts, raises concerns about the potential diversion of taxpayer funds from public schools to private or charter institutions. This approach may undermine the public education system, which is already in need of increased per-student funding and teacher pay raises. It is crucial to prioritize the strengthening of public schools, which serve a diverse range of students, rather than facilitating a shift towards privatization. Therefore, it is requested that the focus be redirected towards enhancing public school funding and teacher compensation, ensuring a robust and inclusive education system for all. This approach aligns with the broader goal of fostering an equitable society.
