Happy #AmericanEducationWeek! We believe public schools are the cornerstone of communities, where we provide students with the support and tools they need and deserve, and bring people from all walks of life together. #PublicSchoolsForAll bddy.me/2yYmc8b

Our hearts are breaking as we hear of another deadly school shooting. As educators it's always devastating. We mourn with the families of the victims and the whole Aztec High school community. NEA - New Mexico #EndGunViolence facebook.com/NEANM1886/post…

This #GOPTaxScam is a disaster for students & educators. The partial elimination of the SALT deduction puts in jeopardy the ability of states & communities to fund public education, potentially risking funding for more than 130k education jobs. More: nea.org/home/72475.htm

Our public schools welcome everyone. We will stand up for our Dreamers and their families. #ToImmigrantsWithLove #DreamersWelcome
