Many school board members and public education advocates in rural areas of the state are concerned that passage of Amendment 2 could have devastating consequences for their local public schools & the students they serve. #VoteNoOn2 #PublicFundsForPublicSchools #VoteNOonAmendment2

Our public schools are the heartbeat of our communities. Yes, our public schools are education institutions but they do so much more than just educate students. (1/2)

Did you know that there is a Constitutional Amendment on the ballot this November that asks if we want our tax dollars to be spent with public schools, or sent to unaccountable private schools? (1/2)

It’s time to celebrate!

Don't get distracted. The phrase "...outside the system of common schools" says it all. Amendment 2 is the Voucher Amendment and vouchers would devastate our public schools. Vote NO. #VoteNOon2
