Diane Ravitch Receives Friend of Education Award:  NEA’s highest honor goes to education scholar Diane Ravitch, an architect of the Bush administration’s infamous No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Ravitch is raising concerns over testing mania, school choice, and charters, all concepts she once embraced but clearly has left behind. (read more)

The House of Representatives approved an emergency spending bill that included $10 billion to save educator jobs and $5 billion for Pell Grants. It is now up to the Senate to do its part and approve the same level of assistance when it returns to Washington, D.C., this week.

It's crunch time. Contact your senator today.  Florida stands to lose over a billion dollars, enough to fund nearly 20,000 jobs. Next year the stimulus funds will run out, and the state is facing a 6 billion dollar shortfall. Public education is facing potentially deep cuts in funding -- cuts that will increase class sizes, lead to curtailment of programs, chase talented educators from the profession, and deny our students the quality world class public education they deserve. Encourage Congress to fund the jobs bill.
