Class Size: Take the Next Step
N
early a year ago, OEA kicked off the class size campaign. Since then, thousands of educators have told their stories about how the disinvestment in public education is negatively impacting our students and the future of our state every day. If you’ve already shared your class size story with OEA, thank you. (If not — there’s still the opportunity to at www.oregoned.org/classsize). Thank you for committing to doing what it takes to raise the revenue we need to support student success. Because of you, we were able to gather tens-of-thousands of commitments for signatures for a revenue ballot measure. While there will not be a measure on the 2014 ballot, OEA remains committed to building on our collective great work and pursuing the additional revenue our schools need — by organizing in our buildings, in our communities, through the 2015 Legislative session and all the way to a ballot measure in 2016. Let us know how you would like to stay involved in the campaign going forward. Go to: www.oregoned.org/class-size/thank-you to take that next step.
