It’s no secret— an investment in school infrastructure is an investment in the success and wellbeing of students and staff.
That’s why I hosted a roundtable with leaders at my alma mater to discuss how my #RebuildAmericasSchools Act would support teachers and students.

Crumbling schools put the health of students, educators, and staff at risk and jeopardize student learning.
It’s time to double down on our commitment to high-quality education and invest in public school infrastructure.
