On Tuesday, the Senate Republicans voted to gut Area Education Agencies (AEAs), which are vital to the success of all students, but especially to our children who have special learning needs.
Since Senate Republicans' introduction, the message has been loud and clear across the state: WE DON'T WANT THIS! School administrators, teachers, parents, and students have all been saying the same thing.
Iowans deserve better.
We can't have another year of Republicans gutting vital programs that our families rely on.
That's why we need to protect our incumbent Senators. Senators Boulton, Giddens, and Trone Garriott have been and continue to be fighters for a better deal for all Iowans.
Last night, Republicans pushed out a statement saying that Democrats voted against increasing teachers' pay. This is a misleading and deceitful statement because this same bill also included gutting the AEA system and underfunding public education for the coming school year.
We need your help to keep Senators Boulton, Giddens, and Trone Garriott in office. Can I count on you to support us with a monthly $20.24 contribution?
When the stakes are this high, it's all hands on deck. We can't do this without you.
