Contact Your Legislators

Who are the true education experts? Our educators. Our state lawmakers need to hear directly from educators. They need to hear teachers’ voices on what our students need to succeed. Funding for public education is a major concern. Deep cuts to education funding and the loss of educator jobs will only hurt our students who need mental health services, more attention made possible by smaller classes, and other supports. Regardless of the time of year, but especially while the Legislature is in session, make sure to share your students’ needs with all your elected legislators. Hold our legislators accountable for their support, or lack of support, for our public schools and the work we do educating West Virginia’s students.

Become a public school advocate by developing positive relationships with your legislators. Find your lawmakers in the list below. Contact them when they come home and while they’re in Charleston to share your story. Talking to your legislators isn’t hard – and it can be fun. You don’t have to be an expert on school finance, or anything else. Remember, you are the expert on how legislation will affect your students and your school.
