Education

We support equal opportunity for high quality education for all students from early childhood through community college. We work actively to educate ourselves and the community about innovations in education as well as financing for education.

Please contact your House Representative to non-concur with the Senate's version of the H.4756 "bathroom bill" that recommends a porta potty as an acceptable accommodation. To be relegated to a porta potty while other students, staff, and visitors have access to permanent facilities is demeaning and hurtful.

Action Alerts

While attempting to provide for parents' rights and a broad range of beliefs, H.4757 creates considerable additional work for teachers and districts and fails to acknowledge school efforts already in place to resolve possible concerns. Existing laws, regulations, policies and procedures already address the provisions of this bill. Contact your State Senator to vote NO.
