This week, we honored the educators who make our schools. Stand with Colorado educators and fight for the respect, resources, and freedom to teach that our children deserve. Public schools exist for the public good, and we must defend them. https://coloea.org/AmericanEducationWeekPledge

Teacher shortages and low pay have made it harder for schools to find the people they need. Every day, substitute educators step in to fill the gap when it’s needed most.

Educators arrive early, stay late, and take work home, whether they’re grading papers and making lesson plans, or preparing buses, meals, and safe spaces for students. It’s time to respect their time, value their work, and invest in their success. https://coloea.org/AmericanEducationWeekPledge

Education Support Professionals keep our schools safe, clean, welcoming, and connected, but too many earn below a living wage and work multiple jobs just to get by.

One job should be enough. Support NEA’s campaign to create the ESP Bill of Rights: NEA.ORG/NEA-ESP-BILL-RIGHTS

Education Support Professionals are the backbone of our schools, ensuring safe, clean, and welcoming spaces for every student to learn. Let’s take a moment to celebrate the colleagues who keep our schools going.

📬 Ballots will be arriving in mailboxes soon!

School board elections decide who sets district priorities, approves budgets, and makes the policies that shape our classrooms and communities. With many races decided by just a handful of votes, your vote truly makes the difference.
