Arlington, Va., Sept. 9, 2011 - Daniel Domenech, executive director of the American Association of School Administrators (AASA), released the following statement today in response to President Obama’s proposed American Jobs Act:
"The American Jobs Act would devote $25 billion to the renovation of 35,000 schools and $30 billion to preventing the layoff of 280,000 teachers. Keeping teachers in our classrooms is essential to meeting the educational needs of our students. Creating jobs that will make much needed repairs to our schools is a win-win situation. We urge Congress to move towards the immediate passage of the American Jobs Act."
