How will it feel to be a teacher on November 7th? It depends on how you vote. Through Question 1, YOU can provide local teachers with the support we need to reach and teach Utah kids and grandkids.


If you haven't voted yet, here's how to cast your #VoteFor1! Time is running out and the outcome will be close. Create a plan today on how you will make your voice heard. Visit vote.utah.gov for specific times and locations for your county.

"As a teacher, I voted for Question 1 because I believe that our Utah students NEED this support." Please mail in your ballot today! It all depends on turnout and your vote is going to be critical. #OurKids1st

The legislation specifically says it cannot be used for administration or school construction. It must be used inside the classroom toward students and teachers. You can read it here: ourschoolsnow.com/ballot/

Appreciated reading @RobertGehrke's perspective on why voting yes on Question 1 is so important for the future of education (and righting our tax system) here in Utah. #utpol @sltrib sltrib.com/news/2018/10/1…

"Please join me in voting for Question 1." Governor Herbert agrees - we must invest in our students and teachers. Vote for Question 1 to put Utah kids 1st.


"Take the time to learn about this critical issue." Doug Wright from KSL lays out the facts about Question 1. SHARE if you will vote FOR Question 1. youtu.be/Ngfy1Ikwl3E


$4 a month to better invest in local teachers and students directly in the classroom? Put our kids first and vote FOR 1 this fall! #uted

“Never before has the need for strengthening public education in Utah been clearer” trib.al/3cuZqos


Utah classrooms are in crisis. Almost half of Utah educators have quit since 2013 and this teacher shortage is not getting any better. But why? "Experts say the biggest reason for a teacher shortage is low compensation." Share and vote for Question 1. bit.ly/2nJ7Os8


"School is important enough that we should give more than required to make sure it is successful. teachers should be respected and valued, and learning requires us giving it everything we have.” Voting for Question 1 sends that same message bit.ly/2NRUKvw

Do Utahns think education funding is lacking? Are they willing to pay $4 per month for local schools, students and teachers? Watch as our friend Camryn, a Utah student, talks with voters about Question 1. SHARE if you will vote FOR 1! Full video: youtu.be/UqdTVxh9XZ0


This news isn't fake - classroom investments matter! A new report establishes that school resources, such as TEACHER SALARIES and SMALLER CLASS SIZES are positive indicators of student achievement. Here it is: goo.gl/x7GNtR Please Share

"Less than 50 percent of Utah students are currently proficient in key subjects. That’s not good enough to prepare the workforce of the future," writes A. Scott Anderson. deseretnews.com/article/900025…
