To all my educator friends out there know that I believe in you. Our kids and staff need you, so just keep working on you! Remember that great change begins with self-change. You got this! And if you need me, remember, I got you! You know where to find me. 2025-26 - Go get it!

That class list you just got? It’s not just a list of names. It’s a list of stories. Of dreams. Of fears. Of quirks. Of potential. It’s full of kids who are someone’s everything. Behind every name is a family that’s trusting you with their whole world. That’s no small thing. So

NAFIS is proud to endorse the Advancing Toward Impact Aid Full Funding Act, bipartisan legislation aiming to fully fund the federal #ImpactAid program for the first time since 1969 nafisdc.org/wp-content/upl…

#ImpactAid replaces lost local revenue for school districts located on or near federal lands - including military installations, tribal lands, national parks, & other federal property - ensuring they have the resources they need to provide high-quality education.

Says it all….

Thank you for a great first day at the 2025 NAFIS Fall Conference! Motivating discussions, valuable connections, & a strong sense of community as we advocate for #ImpactAid. Excited for day 2, now underway! Stay tuned for more.
