Final NCLB Vote Expected

12/6/2015

 
The Senate is expected to vote on the reauthorization of the main education law that governs our schools, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) by this Tuesday.

This would mean the end of No Child Left Behind and more opportunity for students to learn. This is in no small part due to the voices over 200,000 NEA members and allies like you.

This is your last chance to weigh in. If passed, the bill will go to the President’s desk to be signed into law.
Will you email your senators now and ask them to get ESEA done?

  • OR if you’ve already sent an email, call your senators at 866-331-7233 and then enter your ZIP code.
  • Already done that too? Click here to share to let your friends and colleagues know that this is their last chance to weigh in.
This new version of the law, the Every Student Succeeds Act or S. 1177, is a big step forward. It will make great strides on what really matters – whether students in all ZIP codes have equitable access to textbooks, AP classes and state of the art equipment.

Ask your senators to support S. 1177 now.

It will also help ensure educators’ voices are part of the decisions and reduce the number of standardized tests and decouple the high stakes attached to them.

In short – this will be a historic moment. Thank you for emailing your senators here and making a phone call at 866-331-7233.

P.S. You can spread the word by telling friends and colleagues about the vote this week. Share on Facebook, Twitter or by email here.
