Your faxes have made a difference
by Lynann Day
It appears that the efforts made by MTA members and other NYSUT and AFT members made a difference as the reauthorization of the Federal No Child Left Behind Act will probably not occur this year.
The thousands of faxes that were sent to the members of the Senate and Congress urged the lawmakers not to rush the reauthorization of NCLB. Leaders in the House of Representatives have said that it is unlikely that a bill would get to the floor in 2007. NYSUT had hoped that the delay would occur and that would allow changes to be made to the flawed NCLB legislation.
