Share your story!

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.

As the expert on what happens in Florida’s public schools your voice is essential. Please take a few minutes to share your story of working in education during the pandemic and your thoughts on how to ensure every child in Florida receives the education they deserve.
