At last week’s meeting, the MASA Council resolved to support AASA’s efforts to enlist districts in shaping the future of education. How can you do that? Here’s one simple way.

AASA has created a draft resolution reinforcing AASA’s position on the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the law currently known as No Child Left Behind. We urge you to work with your administrative team and school board to adopt the resolution, which supports AASA’s 2008 legislative agenda, All Children Will Learn.

AASA has compiled a web page full of resources to help you as you introduce, customize and distribute the resolution in your community. Please take a moment to check it out. It offers an excellent opportunity for you and your district to actively participate in the policy discussion surrounding reauthorization. Once your board approves the resolution, tailor AASA’s Press Release Template to fit your resolution and distribute it to your local media contact list to increase awareness of the resolution.

Also, please send MASA a copy so we can track Michigan’s progress. Send to lwacyk@gomasa.org or fax 5117.327.0779.
