The NCAE attributed to over 13000 emails and phone calls to the Senate. This was the largest number of "grassroots" lobbyest out of all 50 states. Today, NC and the NEA made a difference.
Let it be noted that this bill will save over 5000 educator jobs in NC alone. This bill provides more money towards education jobs than that of Race to the Top (RTTT) with less stipulations. We are keeping teachers in the classrooms, bus drivers on the road, custodians in our schools, and cafeteria workers on the line.
Please notify your Senator and thank them for their support.
I hope that we are still frugal with our education dollars here. We don't need to fill all of these positions, but there are several schools that need this money. I hope that local school officials will be wise with this money, because these expenditures will eventually catch up with us...
