LWV National Study and Consensus Results: The Role of the Federal Government in Public Education

We had an excellent turnout for our Education Consensus on November 16th, and the informal format of enjoying Pizza/snacks while discussing the questions worked well. Everyone was intent on understanding the issues, and we were able to reach agreement on most of the 15 questions. We really appreciate Jonathan projecting the information and the questions on Power Point slides. Now it will be up to the National Board of the LWV to put together the responses from the Leagues all over the US, and come up with a Consensus that can be used to lobby Legislators when it comes time to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
