The 2009 AASA Legislative Agenda (PDF) is shaped by recommendations on federal policy issues compiled annually by the Committee on Federal Policy and Legislation, which is comprised of the AASA Executive Committee. The Executive Committee recommendations are presented to the AASA Governing Board twice annually for approval. Each legislative position sunsets annually, but may be carried forward if determined by the committee.

As AASA's conversations with Capitol Hill continue, superintendents need to continue to communicate with their elected officials and let them know how NCLB has negatively impacted school districts. Our combined efforts and advocacy on behalf of the 2009 AASA Legislative Agenda All Children Will Learn will make sure the AASA voice is heard on Capitol Hill!
