Monday Action #5
“Message the Senate Education Committee: My Child’s Education Isn’t Red or Blue — It’s Their Future.”
Bella with Senator Scott Martin
This week, we’re contacting the Republican members of the Pennsylvania Senate Education Committee — because they will help decide whether the 25% cyber charter cut becomes permanent… or gets worse.
Yes, they are Republicans.
No, that doesn’t matter today.
Because your child’s education isn’t red or blue —
it’s your child’s future.
And they need to hear that directly from the people living with the consequences: parents.

2️⃣ What to Send (copy/paste)
Subject: My child’s education isn’t red or blue — it’s their future.
Message:
Dear Senator,
I am a parent in Pennsylvania writing to ask you to please remember families like mine as you consider the future of education funding. The recent 25% cut to public cyber charter schools hit real children, real teachers, and real families.
I want to make this simple:
I love my kid. I love their school. And it’s important that you know why.My child’s education is not a political issue for us — it’s their future, their stability, and their chance to succeed.
I’m asking you, as a member of the Senate Education Committee, to listen to parents, consider the diverse needs of Pennsylvania students, and support the public school options that are actually working for families.
Please protect the choices that allow thousands of kids to learn in the environment where they thrive.
Thank you for your time,
[Your Name]
[Town/City]
[Child’s School – optional]
Short, human, respectful — and memorable.
3️⃣ Public Post for Parents to Copy
“This Monday I messaged the Senate Education Committee and reminded them my child’s education isn’t red or blue — it’s their future. Your turn.”
4️⃣ Why Week 5 Matters
This is the week lawmakers begin drafting early budget priorities.
If they only hear from lobbyists and unions, the next cut will be bigger.
This is how we make sure they hear us.
