The House and Senate are locked in negotiations over the basic allotment, one of the components in CSHB 2. The best way to get an increase in the basic allotment is to push for the full $9.1 billion. To do that, we need you to take action and reach out to your legislators: go.ryht.org/fundschools

Right now, every email sent can help push for a stronger basic allotment increase and support an effort to ensure the original $395 increase proposed in HB 2 makes it into final negotiations. 

The time is now. Go here to send emails to your legislators: go.ryht.org/fundschools
