Help keep great schools 'a priority'
WEAC President Stan Johnson urged all WEAC members to use the OnWEAC Cyberlobby to stand up for children and great schools during the ongoing state budget process.
"Tell your legislators, 'Keep kids and great schools a top priority during debate on the state budget,'" Johnson said.
Cyberlobby is in the Members Only section of OnWEAC, and is easy to use. Your message will be sent directly to the legislators who represent you.
