 The Countdown is On to Save School Libraries!

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and Labor will

soon be considering reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act

(NCLB). In order for the SKILLs Act to be included in NCLB - that is, to

place a state-certified school library media specialist in every school

- each member of the House must co-sponsor the SKILLS Act.

 

The House has postponed mark-up for sometime in October and there is

still time to call your Representative. The name of your Representative

must appear on this bill! If your Representative's name does not appear

as a co-sponsor, please call his/her office immediately and request that

he/she support the SKILLs Act. If your Representative's name DOES appear

on this bill, contact his/her office and thank him/her for the continued

support of school libraries and school library media specialists.  

 

Look for more information, a list of sponsors, and a flier you can post

in your library about the SKILLS Act, all at the ALA Legislative Action

Center <http://capwiz.com/ala/issues/alert/?alertid=10223941> . 

 

Please contact your Representative immediately and ask him/her to

co-sponsor the SKILLs Act.
