Teachers: The Secretary of Education Wants To Hear From You!

This week, the U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. is beginning a back to school bus tour to hold conversations with and honor America’s teachers. The Secretary will begin in Little Rock, Arkansas and be stopping in several cities in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, New York, New Hampshire, and Maine – just to start. Throughout the tour, Duncan will be visiting classrooms breaking ground in closing the achievement gap, early education, school nutrition and safety and teacher recruitment. Duncan will be joined by public school teachers now serving as U.S. Department of Education teaching fellows as well as local leaders.

All events are open to the public, if the Secretary is stopping in your school, let him know what a great job special educators in your district are doing!

To follow the tour online: Updates, photos and videos from the road will be posted daily on the Education Department’s website at www.ED.gov and via Twitter (@ED_Outreach) and Facebook (Secretary Arne Duncan fan page).

I will believe it when I see it. I wrote him quite a while ago with some real concerns and got a form letter back that didn't address anything of substance.
