We are committed(1) to promoting the safety and well-being of all children, regardless of their immigration status, as well as protecting children from harmful separation(2) from their parents or family members.
National PTA believes that all children residing in the United States, regardless of their #immigration status, have the right of access to a quality public education, adequate food and shelter, and basic health care services.
While Kansas PTA is sensitive to the challenges of balancing property tax levels, we are cautious about any tax policy that makes it harder to ensure constitutional levels of funding for K-12 public education. #ksleg #ksed
