Don’t know what to write? Share your personal thoughts as to why well-funded public education matters to you:
Did a well-supported teacher help you when you struggled academically or personally?
Was it a guidance counselor who helped make sure you took the right classes so you could get into a post-secondary program?
Did you enjoy an after-school drama club or intramural sport that led you to become (Alaska) world famous?
Still need more help? Watch the SB 52 bill introduction in Senate Finance to learn about why adequate funding for public education matters.
