After months of waiting, we finally got the news we were waiting for and our state budget was finally approved. We know that bills and budgets are not the easiest to understand; we’ll keep reposting useful information and breaking it down for folks. Check our stories and follow to learn more.

One important takeaway: our voices mattered to the legislators who voted for the budget. Keep using your voice to advocate for public schools – it’s working!
