## Resource

Behind every great classroom stands an army of unsung heroes—paraprofessionals, custodians, nurses, and bus drivers—who keep schools running safely and support students daily. Yet they’re facing crumbling infrastructure, outdated resources, rising mental health needs, and a looming health insurance crisis threatening budgets and family stability. Despite overwhelming pressure, these frontline workers show extraordinary dedication, stepping up for kids in need and investing in their futures. The solution? Stop asking them to carry the load—and instead build real, lasting investments that strengthen schools, support students, and honor the people who make education possible.
