Subject: URGENT MESSAGE FOR U.S. TEACHERS
The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) has
just learned that Senate action on funding for the
Eisenhower Professional Development Program is
scheduled for NEXT week. The Senate Appropriations
Committee will most likely mark-up the House
Appropriations Bill, next Tuesday or Wednesday,
September 10 or 11.
The Eisenhower Professional Development program, the
federal program designed to expand professional
development opportunities for science, math, and other
teachers, was ELIMINATED from the House of
Representatives 1997 education appropriations bill (HR
3755) in late July.
We are asking the K-12 education community for
assistance in opposing the elimination of Eisenhower
funding for 1997. Please call or fax your Senators'
offices immediately to ask them to reject the House
plan to eliminate Eisenhower funding and move the
money into a block grant. Please encourage as many of
your colleagues as you can to join you in this action.
Most important, ask your Senators to share your request
to reinstate funding for the Eisenhower program with
Senator Mark Hatfield and Senator Arlen Specter, the
chairs of the Senate Appropriations Committee and
the Senate Education Appropriations Subcommittee
respectively.
To find out the phone or fax numbers of your Senators,
call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. If you
are unable to make a long distance call, call the
nearest district office of each of your Senators and
speak to a legislative coordinator there.
While it is unlikely you will be able to speak with
your Senators directly, ask to talk with the
legislative director or the staff person responsible
for education issues.
As you know, the Eisenhower program benefits hundreds
of thousands of science, math, and other subject
teachers each year. Remember that in voting, senators
do count the numbers of opinions that come in from
their constituents on any given issue.
If you have any questions or need additional
information, visit the NSTA web site at
http://www.nsta.org or contact Ann Wild at (703)
312-9247; e-mail ann.wild@nsta.org.
