2. Let your legislators know that education funding is still a priority for the 2026 legislative session.
There’s been chatter that an increase to education funding is a “non-starter” for the upcoming session due to the successful override to Governor Dunleavy’s budgetary veto last spring. The BSA (the Base Student Allocation) was raised in the letter of the law, BUT the change doesn’t even completely account for inflation.
“My philosophy is very simple. When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just; say something! Do something! Get in trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble.”
“People who start movements do so not because they hate an institution, but because they love it too much to let it descend to its lowest form.”
- Parker Palmer, The Courage to Teach (1998)
