What's Congress been up to?That's not an invitation to deliver a punch line, though there are a many that come to mind. But it is your invite to two NSBA Advocacy sessions where you'll receive a briefing on Congressional action on key education issues and ways for you and your school board to become more involved at the federal level.
The details: Join NSBA's Advocacy staff on Saturday from 9 - 10:30 a.m. (that'll leave plenty of time to get a good seat at the opening general session) in the convention center's W103AB for a fast-paced discussion of Congressional activity on NCLB, federal funding, Medicaid reimbursement for districts, early education, private school vouchers, teacher quality and higher education. Plus discover easy-to-use advocacy tools to help stay informed, involved and effective in advocating for your school district all through the year. The "official" session title: National Advocacy Networks Meeting.
Gotta conflict Saturday morning? Then join us Monday from 11:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in the convention center's W307ABC for an encore session; this one's dubbed Legislative Update in your program book. See you there!
