Connecticut's K-12 public schools are facing the threat of a funding crisis in subsequent years that will reduce the quality of education for students across the state. The lack of adequate funding has led to larger class sizes, reduced support services, and a strain on the resources that educators and staff rely on to provide a safe and effective learning environment. This situation is particularly challenging for our most vulnerable students, who are at risk of falling further behind without the necessary support.

In this critical time, it is more important than ever for CSEA paraeducators, tutors, bus drivers, and monitors to join forces with parents to advocate for the resources our children need. By working together, we can amplify our voices and push for meaningful changes that will benefit students and the communities they live in. Our partnership can help ensure that every student has access to a high-quality education, regardless of their background or the district they live in.

As we prepare for the back-to-school season and look ahead to the 2025 legislative session, CSEA is taking proactive steps to address this funding crisis. We are actively collecting names of those interested in learning more about how they can get involved in our efforts to secure better funding and support for our schools. This is a crucial moment to make our voices heard and to demand that our state’s leaders prioritize the needs of our students and educators. Together, we can advocate for the future of public education in Connecticut, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
