Are you an educator based in Mississippi? Have you taken paid parental leave, or needed to take paid parental leave, to welcome a new child?
Mississippi Black Women’s Roundtable, in collaboration with A Better Balance, wants to hear from you.
As we continue advocating for stronger paid leave protections for Mississippi’s hard-working educators, your experience matters. Whether you were able to take paid leave, had to use unpaid leave, struggled to access time off, or felt unsupported during a major life transition, your story can help inform advocacy efforts and push for policies that better support educators and families across the state.
By completing this short survey, you can help us better understand the real experiences of Mississippi educators and the impact paid leave has on families, classrooms, and communities.
Your voice can help make the case for stronger paid leave for Mississippians.
Who should complete the survey?
Mississippi-based educators who have taken, needed to take, or considered taking paid parental leave to welcome a new child.
Why it matters:
Paid leave is not just a workplace benefit. It is an economic security issue, a family support issue, and a policy issue that affects the health and stability of Mississippi families.
