Dear League Members and Friends,

As we welcome the crisp air of autumn, I’m reminded of the importance of staying engaged and active in our communities, particularly as we approach another critical election season. It’s an exciting time for our League, as we continue to advance our mission to empower voters and defend democracy.

“Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part.”John Lewis, U.S. Congressman and Civil Rights Leader

Public education in Wisconsin will face devastating consequences if the budget proposal for K-12 education, moved forward by the Joint Committee on Finance (JFC), is enacted.

Education Action Team

The Education Action Team focuses on the League of Women Voters' belief that high-quality public education for all children is necessary to sustain our democratic way of life and the economic health of our state and the people. We believe that adequate funding is essential to provide and sustain such an education.

To that end, the LWVNC:

News

On December 9, the Beaufort County School Board voted to restrict five more books: The Handmaid’s Tale and Oryz and Crake by Margaret Atwood, November 9 by Colleen Hoover, Perfect by Ellen Hopkins, and Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaipur. A parental signature will be required for a student to checkout any of these books from the school libraries. These books were among 92 challenged books previously returned to shelves by review panels of parents, community members, teachers, librarians, and educators. State Regulation 43-170 provides a parent appeal process.

Position

High quality public education is crucial for the lifelong health and well-being of individuals growing up in our communities.
