Your voice matters and Congress needs to hear from you!
We need to urge Congress to boost Charter Schools Program (CSP) funding to $500 million next year to meet the growing demand for public school choice, supported by polling that shows that 75% of parents would choose this option if available. An increase in charter school funding will ensure that more parents have the option to do so.
Despite its importance, federal funding for charter school growth has remained stagnant for the past five years. Even worse, President Biden’s proposed budget for FY 2025 slashes CSP funding by nearly 10%, endangering charter school progress.
Contact your Member of Congress now to safeguard and expand this vital program.

Today marks the beginning of #TeacherAppreciationWeek! Please join us in supporting the #EDUCATORSforAmericaAct, which proposes several measures to invest in teachers and America's future. The act is a great first step to diversifying the educator pipeline by doubling the TEACH grants to $8k/year and strengthening educator preparation programs.

Today, we mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. As professionals, it is crucial for us to recognize and acknowledge the tragic and painful history of residential schools and their ongoing impacts.
This federal statutory holiday, created through legislative amendments, is a vital component of the reconciliation process. And on this day, we also recognize Orange Shirt Day, an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day that aims to raise awareness of the devastating inter-generational impacts of residential schools.
Wearing an orange shirt or a beaded orange shirt necklace serves as a powerful symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom, and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children for generations. As professionals, let us stand in solidarity with the Indigenous community and commit to learning more about the impacts of residential schools and how we can support reconciliation.
Let us use this day as an opportunity to educate ourselves and others, to reflect on our past, and to take action towards a more inclusive and equitable future.
