FRN on the roadNSBA's Federal Relations Network Conference has been abuzz with activity. With dynamic speakers Norman Ornstein and Freeman Hrabowski wowing the crowds on Sunday, Senator Chuck Hagel encouraging them on Monday, and a full day of lobbying on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, FRN Members got their fill in D.C. this week.
FRN members went to the hill to encourage members of Congress to reauthorize NCLB before the presidential election this year and to get increased funding for school districts. One FRN member from Ohio, Andrew Mizsak, has been blogging on his experiences, and sums up the programming better (and in far greater detail--here, here, here, and here) than BoardBuzz ever could. And besides, he brings the perspective of an actual school board member. If there was ever any doubt that school board members come to the FRN Conference in Washington to work and learn, one needs only read Mr. Mizsak's blog to understand what a dedicated bunch these members are.
