It's simple. 

Public education is important to all members of the community. Community members should have a seat at the table for input on any rewrite of the public education formula. Our legislative leaders should slow down the process and get public input.

Any education funding rewrite should include:

• Public hearings throughout the state with participation from all education stakeholders (i.e. parents, teachers, community members, students, etc)

• Impact data and projected annual school district funding levels for a minimum of five years

• At a minimum, the level of funding called for by the current law (MAEP)

• A specific level of funding for public schools with adjustments for rising costs over time
