Tips:
- Be polite, but direct. We aren’t asking for fair funding- we are insisting on it- for the sake of just treatment of our children.
- Appeal to the morality of the issue- we aren’t treating all students with equal dignity and justice when we deny equity.
- Remind him that inequitable funding is driving local property taxes up the most in the poorest communities.
- Share something personal- how does this issue impact you, your kids, your community?
- Use these sample emails for parents, teachers, and taxpayers for guidance or as a template if you wish:
