Public Education Roundtable

We encourage all people who support public education to advocate for funding equity, integration, high quality teachers and principals, increase in essential support personnel, smaller class size in poverty schools, and ensure public tax dollars for public school education are used responsibly and transparently.

1. Oppose vouchers to private schools and advocate capping Charter Schools at 100.
2. Advocate for high quality early childcare, health services, and Pre-K for all.
3. Advocate for Civics Education in all levels of public schools.
4. Participate in voter registration for high school students in collaboration with local high schools.

In the League of Women Voters U.S. Impact on Issues 2024-2026, quality education is addressed with emphasis on the Federal Role in Public Education. (152-153)
