A Message from Cherise Khaund, Deputy Campaign Director
Losing after so much work is painful. But, thanks to help from hundreds of volunteers, we can all take pride in an honest, well-run campaign that kept the spotlight on the needs of children, students, and their schools. Those needs are not going away, nor are the children who are being denied the opportunities they need to be successful.
During the thousands of discussions the League of Education Voters had around the state, we heard over and over again that education is the key to a better life for individuals and to a better society for everyone. Although voters turned down I-884, the campaign raised awareness everywhere about the need for action.
We can and will move from this campaign to building a movement in support of our public schools. The ball now moves to the Legislature (where many voters think it belongs) and the pressure is on our policy makers to come up with a different solution. One thing we learned in no uncertain terms on Tuesday: It is hard to fix a broken education system with a broken tax system.
Thank you for believing in and working so hard for the vision of quality preschools, lower class sizes, better teacher pay, and college opportunities for our children. Nothing less will do.
The cause is too important for any of us to walk away from. You can count on the League of Education Voters to stay on the case. Stay tuned for email updates about how you can make a difference in this next legislative session and how you can help deepen and strengthen support for early education, K-12 public schools, and our colleges and universities.
