Advocate for funding Alaska’s schools

Steller Families,

Please join Steller Parent Group in holding our leaders accountable for funding Alaska’s schools.

There is more to do!

Please write your legislators, if you care about:
  • maintaining student classroom sizes
  • retaining good teachers
  • having school nurses
  • sports programs
  • gifted programming
  • school counselors
  • a quality education for your children
  • and so many other programs that require more funding
Also, encourage your kids to do the same – Legislatures actually listen to kids!
 

The House will vote on HB 69 to increase the BSA this week!

HOW TO ADVOCATE – MADE EASY

  1. Just click on the “public opinion message” Click on “Support” and root bill “HB 69”, then say a few words about why you support increased funding to our schools.
  2. Sign the Great Alaska Schools Petition to the governor.
  3. Call your representative.  
  4. Email your representative. (Rep.FirstName.LastName@akleg.gov)
