The ESP Family Leave Act (S. 1401) updates the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), so that more education support professionals (ESPs) can access benefits without risking their jobs. ESPs who work only during the school year or less than eight hours a day often struggle to clear the FMLA’s 1,250 hours of service threshold.
Email your senators and urge them to support the ESP Family Leave Act (S. 1401).
School food service workers serve millions of meals each day, providing healthy, nutritious foods that fuel students’ minds and bodies.

Email your senators and representative and ask them to cosponsor the Improving Training for School Food Service Workers Act.
