Pledge to America's Schoolchildren campaign makes big splash in FloridaKudos to U.S. Representative-Elect Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) for becoming the latest to ink his name on the Pledge to America's Schoolchildren, NSBA's campaign encouraging members of Congress to commit to five fundamental goals in support of public schools. Bilirakis signed the Pledge this morning at a press event in Pinellas County, Florida, alongside local school board member and NSBA President Jane Gallucci.
Lots of media coverage, including Tampa's FOX13 News. Watch Gallucci "interview" Bilirakis here.
More updates to follow on the press event.
Thanks also to Representative Bill Young (R-FL), another Floridian to recently sign the Pledge, which now has more than 60 members signed on.
School board members should continue talking to their representative and senators, encouraging them to sign the Pledge. Find out how here or here.
