National Math-Science Online Lobby Week Scheduled for June 14-18

From the NSTA:

Join your colleagues for this nationwide campaign to increase federal funding for K-12 science and math education programs. During the week of June 14-18, hundreds of science and math teachers, administrators, supervisors, and professors--in short, everyone with an interest in K-12 science and math education--will be asked to take a minute online to email their members of Congress with one simple request: to increase funds for the Math and Science Partnership program at the Department of Education.

As you know, the Math and Science Partnership program makes funds available at the state level specifically for science and math programs that include collaborative opportunities between higher education, K-12, and the public and private sectors. Since important funding decisions are now being made in Washington, D.C., members of Congress need to hear from you about the importance of this program.

Join us next week, and plan to e-mail your Representatives and Senators for this online advocacy program: It's quick, it's simple, and IT WORKS. For more information on the Math and Science Partnerships, go to http://www.nsta.org/legaffairs.
