Will our education bills survive the House Appropriations committee? Senate bills 5192 (MSOC) and 5263 (Special Education) survived the Senate with enough umph to still be worth our advocacy. But now face the committee that previously slashed a $600 per student increase to just $5.55. We reveal which representatives hold the red pens, how to make your voice heard (e.g. sign in pro!) at the crucial March 19th hearing (watch here, 4pm Wednesday), and get real-world town hall advocacy wisdom from high schooler Rafael Brewer, who went toe-to-toe with legislators at the rowdy 43rd district town hall. Plus, we enter "Budget Land" as the final revenue forecast drops - what will this mean for education funding?
