HOT OFF THE PRESSESESEA/NCLB Draft Flying Off the Presses with Plenty of Bad News from Our Friends
Word from the D.C. caucus of NEA and State leaders is that there are major problems in the Title II Re-Authorization. As education has fallen off the radar as a top-three issue with almost all of the presidential campaigns, we MUST be on the front-line in this issue. Please forward this post to members in your unit, local and building. We need our people to be informed.
Read our September 8th post on the Title II Reauthorization titled Tell Congress to Respect Educators.
Vicki Goldsmith, Alan Young and Dave O'Connor represented our profession well in this article in the September 2, Des Moines Register titled Iowa Should Lead in Learning Not Follow.
Our Iowa state leadership--which represented us well on the national stage--has delivered reports back to constituents that says the draft is going from bad to worse. Please read Reg Weaver's letters to the players on the House side of this issue. Our friends aren't behaving that way with the flawed idea of Merit Pay.
President Weaver's August 16th, 2007 Letter to the House Committee on Education and Labor
President Weaver's September 11th Letter to Speaker Pelosi on Merit Pay
President Weaver's letter to Chair Miller on Merit Pay.doc
