The last three years have been harder than anyone could have imagined. Florida’s schools are at a breaking point and our students, teachers and staff need support and understanding from lawmakers now than ever before.

We’re collecting stories to let Florida’s legislators know the struggles of educators as well as the solutions that need to be put in place to strengthen our schools in the 2022-23 school year and beyond.
