On the eighth and final day of his Education Drives America back-to-school tour, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
held a rally in Washington, DC where he talked about meeting thousands of
students, parents, teachers and getting new ideas about what was working and
what things weren’t working. For more

.
At the same time, the United States Congress recessed,
left Washington, DC and its members are now back home
focusing on the upcoming elections. Thus this is an ideal time for each of you
to meet with your Members of
Congress
and voice your concerns about Perkins funding and to let them know
about the good work that you and your students are doing with the assistance of
Perkins funding. Significantly, the September
/October issue of Teen Time provides detailed
information about steps you and your student members can take to show your
support for continued funding of Perkins at very high decision-making levels. For additional information, the Association
for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) has considerable and meaningful
information that will be helpful as well: https://www.acteonline.org/ctepolicywatchblog.aspx?id=18221.
