Public comment on education bill

[Guest guest]

Join advocates for students with disabilities for the markup of the House of

Representative's bill to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.

The markup is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 28th at 10 AM in Room 2175

of the Rayburn House Office Building (see

http://www.visitingdc.com/map/capitol-hill-map.htm). Check the committee's

website at http://edworkforce.house.gov/ for final information.

Advocates are encouraged to actively OPPOSE the ESEA bill (Student Success Act

(H.R. 3989)). The bill eliminates the current limitations on the use of

alternate assessments for students with disabilities, resulting in most students

being taken off regular assessments and regular diploma tracks.

You can voice your opposition to HR 3989 via the Action Alert at:
