Earlier today, five national education organizations representing education stake holders across the nation sent a joint letter to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, urging them to slow the raced-pace of reauthorization so that the statute is done right and not rushed.
The American Association of School Administrators was joined by the National Education Association, National School Boards Association, National Association of Elementary School Principals and National Association of Secondary School Principals in a letter that was sent to Senate HELP Committee, committee staff, and the personal offices of the committee members.
'On behalf of teachers, principals, school board members and school administrators, we all recognize the importance of improving current law, now four‐years past due. We also recognize, more importantly, that we must get it right. As the national organizations representing the education stakeholders who will implement the bill, it is important that we have adequate opportunities to respond to any and all comprehensive proposals both in terms of individual provisions as well as the overall impact on student achievement, the direction of education, school district operations, and implications for fiscal burden.'
