Contact Your Legislator
Emails to our elected representatives can be a very effective tool in passing legislation that will positively impact public schools. Conversely, if there is a piece of legislation that will have negative consequences for our public schools, we can speak together with one voice and avoid the negative impact of bad legislation. When emailing your elected officials, please be kind. We achieve very little with insults and derogatory comments that are threatening or offensive. Most of our elected officials are genuinely concerned about the future of Utah. They, like us, have children or grandchildren in the public school system and care deeply about issues in education.
Suggestions for Emailing Elected Officials
- Open with Dear Senator (Last Name) or Dear Representative (Last Name)
- Let them know immediately that you are a constituent from their district
- Be concise - focus on a single issue that is relevant to public education
- Be genuine, kind, and respectful
- Include your address as well as your full name at the close of your email
- Be sure to review and edit your email for proper spelling, grammar, and syntax
