Education Funding Forum and Rally March 21

Education Funding Forum and Rally

Over 850 educators made themselves heard at the spirited event at Nathan Hale High School.  Nine legislators, (seated and facing the educators) including Speaker of the House Frank Chopp and Senator Rosemary McAuliffe, heard stories and answered questions about class size, compensation (including low pay for NESPA staff), high health insurance costs, excessive standardized testing, evaluations and the need for funding and revenue.
