Tell your State Senator to support SB 5186.

School bonds are critical for our kids to have a safe place to learn. Senate Bill 5186 would allow a simple majority of local voters to decide what our schools need while also reducing the cost of housing. Call your State Senator today at 1-800-562-6000 and urge them to support SB 5186, which will make it easier to build safer schools. 

Call today: 1-800-562-6000.

“A minority of voters can prevent a district from moving its schools into the 21st century. That’s wrong, and it needs to change.”

Too many schools in our state are in disrepair—classrooms with mold, lead in the water, outdated heating systems, and even ceilings falling down. Some playgrounds are dangerous to play in, and students are learning in buildings that were never meant to last this long. School bonds are critical to ensuring every child has a safe, healthy place to learn.
