Your chance to campaign for kidsLast week we told you about NSBA's campaign to drum up co-sponsors for Representative Don Young's (R-Alaska) bill to improve No Child Left Behind. His legislation is consistent with NSBA recommendations on the law. A campaign toolkit is available here.
But local school leaders also are participating in an ongoing NSBA campaign to pressure Congress to restore federal funding for public education, especially Title I and IDEA, which would receive billions of dollars less than what Congress promised this year under the pending education appropriations bill. Get more details on the campaign here. As BoardBuzz previously reported, there is broad voter support (across party lines) for Congress to step up and fulfill its commitment to schoolchildren.
