NCLB resolutions top 400; Congressional action in September?
These are no lazy days of summer for school boards that are aggressively making the case to Congress to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) with the NSBA-supported provisions in H.R. 648. More than 400 local school boards, large and small, across the country have now passed a resolution in support of the legislation, including large numbers from Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington. Is your school board among them? Check out the running list of boards. Need a sample resolution? Here it is.
For more information on NSBA's recommendations on NCLB here's a simple two-pager.
When will Congress act on NCLB? Certainly not before its upcoming August recess, but both House and Senate education committees are hoping for activity when members return in September, making August a key month to make your case to your lawmakers. Tell them to take action in this Congress so our schools and students do not have to endure another 2 or 3 years under a flawed law. In the meantime, House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller (D-CA) will discuss NCLB reauthorization on Monday at the National Press Club.
