Right now, Congress is considering cutting or eliminating public media funding. Those dollars are what pay for lifesaving emergency alerts for wildfires, floods and tornadoes, critical educational programs for Colorado’s kids, and local news, history, and cultural resources we rely on every day.
Jessica May, the 2024 Colorado Teacher of the Year, says her own children and most of her students wouldn’t have been as ready for school as they are if it weren’t for the PBS content.
"As for my middle school students this year they’ve been talking about the songs to their favorite shows from PBS. Clearly that has had an impact that has lasted a long time and will be carried further into their futures," May said.
