EDUCATION THREAD👇🏼 Rumor is the governor is making a huge education announcement tomorrow morning. Here’s what he should say: Folks, our public schools are underfunded by almost $2 billion a year.
Our teachers earn less today than they did a decade ago. We are second to last in the Southeast for student funding—only ahead of Mississippi. This is unacceptable.
Every year the legislature tinkers around the edges, but we cannot wait another year to do what is right.
We have BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in surplus tax revenues and BILLIONS MORE in state accounts. We can afford to go BIG! In January, I am recommending a transformational investment in our kids and the future of our state.
We don’t need another study.
We don’t need another task force.
We don’t need to punt this problem to the next General Assembly.
We know what to do:
Let’s work together and go big for our students.
