What must be done…

Fair funding must be ensured for all schools across the nation. There must be a groundswell of local and state action to secure funding for public schools that is not tied to property tax wealth. Priorities for funding education must be established from the national level throughout states and local governments to ensure that all children have access to the highest quality resources and support to prepare them for college and life. Funds must be in place to secure education at the highest level for every student. Funding systems must be reviewed from preschool through graduate education. It is not acceptable that qualified, prepared youth cannot enter or complete college in this country due to lack of financial support. Education is a matter of national security, important to our standing as a global leader.
