SAVE THE DATE

The Dignity in Schools Campaign is convening parents, students, educators, researchers, and attorneys who want to see school discipline reform included in the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (No Child Left Behind).

On Friday, March 19th, the Dignity in Schools Campaign will host a teleconference to:

· Provide the latest news on the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (No Child Left Behind)

· Present our joint recommendations on ways to include school discipline in reauthorization

· Highlight ways to get involved in the reauthorization at both the local and federal levels

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is the federal government’s main education law – providing federal dollars in return for state and district efforts to meet federal education requirements. Last reauthorized during the Bush administration as No Child Left Behind, the ESEA is currently up for reauthorization. The US House of Representatives is beginning the reauthorization process by asking for comments on reauthorization by March 26th.

The Dignity in Schools Campaign has convened a series of calls to identify ways to include school discipline reform in reauthorization. We will present our recommendations on the teleconference and circulate them as a sign-on letter beforehand. While these recommendations will serve as a good starting point, there is a lot of work to be done at both the local and federal levels to make school discipline reform a part of federal law. Please join us for this teleconference and join in the process.

Friday, March 19th

1pm est / 12pm cst / 10am pst

Call-in information to be distributed next week.
