Demand the Arkansas Legislature fight for our school employees by raising pay:
• Sign the petition asking Gov. Asa Hutchinson and the AR GOP to add school staff pay raises to the 8/8 special session call.
• Email these legislators with a personal email. Keep emails short, personal, and respectful.
Sample email (please personalize): My name is _______ , and I believe Arkansas teachers and classified school staff deserve better pay. Please fight for our educators. Pass legislation that gives these much-deserving state employees a raise.
