It’s time to vote! Get out today and help us protect public education!

Vote public education first! Schools are being forced to close in communities across WV, teachers and service personnel jobs are being cut, and PEIA still hasn’t been addressed by the legislature in a meaningful way. More than ever before, it is critical for education employees to support candidates that will fight for well-funded public schools, improved salaries and affordable PEIA benefits for the dedicated people who serve our students. Vote today!

🚨This is what the HOPE Scholarship is doing to public schools!🚨

As our WV legislators continue to approve more and more money to the HOPE Scholarship, our local public schools continue to face less funding. The HOPE Scholarship allows taxpayer money to be used on private schools and homeschools.

Public schools are a place where ALL students can learn - regardless of ability or background. Private schools are able to pick and choose what students they accept, meaning they can discriminate against students with special needs or any other kid who doesn’t fit their “model.”

🔴Our argument is simple: Taxpayer money should NOT be used to fund private schools and homeschools. If our state has hundreds of millions of dollars to fund the HOPE Scholarship, then that money could be used to fund and improve our public schools!🔴

Contact Mingo’s representation today to tell them they should place guardrails on HOPE and fund our public schools! As a reminder, all of Mingo’s representation, except for Delegate Dillon, voted to expand HOPE Scholarship while our public schools lose funding. We ask that you please remember that as you vote.
