Keep the Pressure Up!

May 23, 2022

We’re at the halfway point of the advocacy flood – keep the pressure up as you continue to advocate for full and fair basic education funding!

Contact information for our area Senators and a link to find your legislator (as well as contact information for Representative Ann Flood, whose district covers a portion of Bethlehem Area School District) are below.

As always, please enlist others to call or email, too!

Optional Script:

I’m calling to share a message with the [Senator or Representative]. (Pause for them to ask a question or say “ok, go ahead.”) I’m calling to ask that they support the full and fair funding of public schools in this year’s state budget. The money is there: state revenues were ahead of projections by $1.5 billion in the last month alone. Schools and students and local taxpayers across the commonwealth need those resources. In lower wealth districts, too many needs go unmet because the current system of state support for public schools is both inadequate and unfair. There’s no excuse: We have the resources to provide students what they need, so please include a $1.25 billion increase in Basic Education Funding and $300 million for Level Up in this budget. Can you let me know where the [Senator or Representative] stands on this issue?
