“I urge you all to get involved and contact your legislators to make sure that HB 6884 becomes law,” says CEA President Kate Dias. “This is big, and if you have never gotten involved before, now is the time.”
She continues, “When teachers share their day-to-day experiences with legislators and explain how legislation can make a big impact on teaching and learning, legislators really take that to heart. Don’t miss out out on this opportunity to tell legislators what students and educators really need.”
