Today, WEAC will testify in favor of a bipartisan bill requiring schools to teach about Hmong and Asian American history. 2022 Teacher of the Year & WEAC member Kabby Hong has been advocating for this bill for years. We won't give up until we get this bill across the finish line.

A new report shows WI teacher pay hasn't kept up with inflation in over a decade, and it's causing staffing levels to reach crisis levels. "The first thing that needs to happen is to restore educators' right to negotiate," WEAC President Wirtz-Olsen said. bit.ly/3uA71PX

71% voters in latest Marquette Poll support increased funding for public schools over more tax increases to pay for private vouchers. Instead, budget under debate by Assembly doesn't provide inflationary increases for public schools - but does boost private vouchers #wibudget

Our kids can't wait! Spend the surplus. We're putting the finishing touches on this glorious 24-foot parachute banner calling on the Wisconsin State Legislature to direct the $7.1 billion #WIbudget surplus towards public education.
