VICTORY on Right-to-Work
MORE ACTION NEEDED TO DEFEAT VOUCHERS
SB61 So-Called Right-to-Work Defeated in the NH House thanks to relentless work by the Labor Community and its Allies! If you contacted your Senator or Representative about SB61 THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Continued Action Needed to DEFEAT VOUCHERS (and Divisive Concepts Ban)
· The Senate approved the Senate Finance Committee’s version of the budget, which decreases adequacy aid by $100 million, includes the SB130 VOUCHERS and a “modified” version of HB544 Ban on Teaching About Divisive Concepts.
o The Senate version allows you to teach isolated historic facts about slavery, sexism or but none of the repercussions those facts have for people in the current day.
o If you violate this ban, they can take away your teaching credential!
· The House and Senate form a Committee of Conference this week to try to reach a compromise budget.
· Each chamber must vote on any compromise budget by June 24th
