“Education and school safety will both suffer setbacks under this misshapen spending plan. I voted against the budget because I’m focused on helping kids learn, supporting good teachers, and keeping students and staff safe.”

“Students need safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments so they can focus on learning to read, write, and do math,” said Harris, R-Waterford. “The disappointing new budget eliminates millions of dollars from safety and mental health programs at schools in our community.”
