About Eva

“Public education is the only public service that is mentioned in our constitution.. Our education is what creates a citizenry responsive to society.  Attacks on funding, curriculum, social and emotional programming are all in danger of being compromised. Yet these are the very items that serve to protect our society.” — Eva
