CONTRIBUTE TO WPSBA'S 2020-21 ADVOCACY AGENDA
THIS YEAR, DUE TO the COVID crisis, testing has more than one meaning and many of our advocacy priorities have shifted. Join us on Oct. 5th as we continue to define how our advocacy can have the biggest impact. We welcome your input as we assemble a list of unnecessary, costly mandates we can fight to eliminate.
THE IMPACT OF SCHOOL REOPENING COSTS
WITHOUT THE ASSURANCE OF FULL STATE aid this year, districts have spent oodles of cash on COVID requirements. All eyes are on Congress as local lawmakers and superintendents band together to form the COVID Relief Now Coalition and appeal for federal money to preserve our schools. This is about keeping people safe, protecting basic educational programming, and the disproportionate impact on high needs districts.
