Education Law

Summer days drifting away...

BoardBuzz is certainly still enjoying the summer. And, it has been a good summer for us! While some of you have been enjoying lazy days at the beach, cook-outs, and summer vacations, BoardBuzz (ever the political junkie) has been most excited about Congress passing legislation that helps school districts on Medicaid Reimbursement, in the housing bill, and on the Higher Education Act. And nothing gets us going more than learning about where the Presidential Candidates (and potential VP's) stand on education issues. (We said we were junkies.)

Congress is on recess right now--taking a breather to spend some time in their districts. BoardBuzz hopes they get some rest because when they come back in September, we have a few more things we think they need to do before they adjourn for the elections in the fall. Some important issues that impact public schools just can't afford to wait until next year.

And NSBA has planned a Back-to-School Call-In Day for September 10! This gives school board members the opportunity to reach out to their members of Congress. By joining together, school board members can make a big impact on Capitol Hill. Learn about the issues at www.nsba.org/advocacy/actionplan and stay tuned for more details on the Call-In Day . . .
