#REDforED Survey

What do you think is the biggest issue facing the public schools in your community?
Louisiana teacher pay ranks at the bottom, #41 in the country (per 24/7 Wall Street USA TODAY). Would you support increasing teacher pay?
Most Louisiana school employees like teacher aides, custodians, bus drivers, cafeteria workers make below $23,000 a year. Would you support increasing their pay?
Would you support school employees in your community enacting a work stoppage or other action for higher wages?
Would you support a $10 per month increase in property taxes, if the funds were dedicated solely to ensure sustainable salaries for Louisiana teachers and all other school employees?
