Advocacy for our public schools matters now more than ever! USA-Kansas and our national affiliates are working tirelessly to contact legislators letting them know the impact federal and state funding freezes and cuts have on our students. Being a member of USA-Kansas and our national organizations come with many benefits, but the greatest benefit at this point in time is our advocacy work at the national and state level. Visit our website to learn not just how you can get involved but about what others are doing in our state to make all our voices heard. Our students, staff, and communities deserve it! #edleadershipmatters
