MCEA Lobbies for Full Funding for Education; Progressive Tax Reform
Today, MCEA President Bonnie Cullison issued a letter to all the members of the Montgomery County legislative delegation urging them to resist proposals being floated to cut back on promised state aid for public education. Ms. Cullison also urged our legislative representatives to support progressive tax reform. Click here to read the full text of MCEA’s letter.

Urge the County Council to Support Full Funding for Our Schools!
The County Executive has proposed a budget that leaves the Montgomery County Schools $20 million short. The County Council is fast approaching final action on the budget. County residents who support funding for our schools are urged to contact Council members in support of school funding.
