Thank you to Lori Rice, Kansas teacher, for speaking out and advising others to join her.

“Below is my letter I will be sending to my government leaders as they start planning funding and making laws about this world I live in every day. As you write your letter, give a short background about yourself, tell about your school or classroom and tell what should be done. Be specific if you know of a bill or funding that is being considered in education. Share your voice and stand up for education.” Read her letter here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2015/01/25/teacher-to-legislators-heres-how-your-decisions-impact-my-students-every-single-day/

This advice applies to parents, school board members and administrators as well.
