GREAT NEWS! We won! I just received an email from Dennis Van Roekel and the Jobs Bill passed. Thanks to everyone of you who helped us win for students, teachers, schools and our country. Here's the scoop from Dennis.
Dear Delegates,
You did it! Just moments ago, the U.S. House of Representatives passed $10 billion in education jobs funding that the U.S. Department of Education estimates will save 161,000 jobs in public schools across the country.
This funding, which was approved by the Senate last week, will be signed into law by Pres. Obama, and will help many schools throughout the country decrease class sizes and restore critical programs our students need to be successful.
