Today I'm reintroducing my Child Care for Working Families Act with Rep. Bobby Scott to finally fix our nation's child care crisis. This crisis is holding kids, working parents, small business, and our entire economy back—it's past time we tackle it head on.

Today marks the first day of #TeacherAppreciationWeek and to appreciate and celebrate our teachers, we need to listen to our teachers. Teachers, I have an open-door policy. Tell me what you wish you had more of in your classroom ⬇️

It's #TeacherAppreciationWeek! Join MSDE all week long as we highlight & recognize our outstanding teachers for all that they do for their students, colleagues, school families & communities. We wouldn’t be able to provide a world-class education without you. #ThankAnMDTeacher

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

To all the teachers who bring their heart to the job, even when it’s tough: We thank you - and your students do too! #TAW23 #TeacherAppreciationWeek #ThankATeacher
