Legislative Update
Hello friends,
I hope you are doing well. I have some exciting updates from the Capitol for you, including a bill that we are working on to give additional funding to schools across the state by leveraging a federal tax credit! I get into the details in my Mueller Minute video below, and have other district-related highlights to share. Thank you for reading!
