Tuesday's super for us too!NSBA's 35th annual Federal Relations Network Conference begins this Sunday and runs through Tuesday, when FRN members will visit their members of Congress on Capitol Hill. Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland Baltimore County will address the nearly 900 school board members in attendance on Sunday on their role in American democracy, and Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) will address the group on Monday.
School board members will be poised to talk to their Congressional members about supporting improvements to the No Child Left Behind law and securing funding for key programs. More than 675 school districts nationwide have passed resolutions urging Congress to support H.R. 648, the No Child Left Behind Improvements Act. In this election year, it's essential that elected officials focus on education, and specifically the reauthorization of NCLB.
Check back here for all the news from the conference.
