Time to contact your U.S. Senator! Karen From: James Brown, STEM Education Coalition [mailto:jfbrown@stemedcoalition.org] Sent: Monday, July 6, 2015 7:50 AM To: Karen Peterson Subject: ACTION ALERT: Support STEM Education in the Senate's ESEA Bill Dear Colleagues: This week, the U.S. Senate will be taking up legislation to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, otherwise known as No Child Left Behind The new Senate bill-- the Every Child Achieves Act (S.1177)--is a comprehensive and bipartisan bill that includes a significant focus on improving learning in the critical science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. Specifically, the bill includes a hard-won provision, adopted by a close vote during committee consideration, that would provide every state with dedicated funding to support a wide range of STEM education activities, including professional development and hands on learning. All Senators need to hear from you about the importance of STEM education as a national priority, so that the final bill passed by the Senate retains this important focus. Help us get this message heard! We have set up a sample letter on our website, which you can personalize and send directly to your Senators.
