It's #TeacherAppreciationDay !
As we take time this week to specifically acknowledge the dedication and critical contributions of Virginia teachers, we must also call on #VaLeg to give teachers the meaningful appreciation and support they deserve.

Happy #TeacherAppreciationDay !
Our teachers are vital pieces of our children's lives and we should support them today and every day by giving our schools the funding that they need - including better teacher and staff pay.

Virginia loses millions every year — that could help #FundOurSchools , #HealthCare , & more — because our tax code is outdated and lagging behind other states: bit.ly/modern-va
#VaLeg must seize this opportunity to include a modern, fair proposal in the final #VaBudget .

Virginia trails many states in modernizing our tax code (Explore our new map!), impacting how we #FundOurSchools
Virginia could improve both by adopting #VaLeg ’s new economy proposal that also asks businesses/ corporations to pay more of their #FairShare

As usual, we will work for and hope to see #TaxFairness4Va , big investments to #FundOurSchools , economic support for those who need it most, and more.
