Thrilled to see AAE's call for a #1000dollardeduction recently proposed in legislation. Our 2020 proposal also called for including up to $400 in home internet expenses--but this bill would be a big win for educators and students. @aaeteachers brown.senate.gov/imo/media/d…

Time will tell how many educators leave the profession as a result, but there is no question morale is down, stress is up, and students will pay the price when great educators can't stay in the profession. We're hearing from members daily at @AAEteachers
