<p>We have been told that the Senate will begin debating S.1177, the Every Child Achieves Act of 2015, a bill that would reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as early as tomorrow. Now is the time to call your Senators to ask that they support the bipartisan Reed-Cochran library amendment when S.1177 comes to the floor of the Senate!</p>
<p>For more information about the Reed-Cochran amendment, <a href="http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAx-xbMkJ9wzVPWzaJLESFcxYF2KWWJ6L2IVVP49Hvam84Ui_VifKOyOi-yoapsGbOHSKUqmcz65btljpjZeQyp4-dUAVaLy03ppJPcIr3YGy72b5dExreTFJ8zaK4KFigmomRhYR9fwtGybJEp4c-kVQLw57HwCnQTAGFf83iy36u9ouOVzQZLhXhHqQpYtYq2mgozHsuSzyKSKVaMAY8nplaqdhx9rZSfs7qAnTkfRA0qP0O_pfshWTlxoDvMcKEKz0bTZHsfL9qLBqkZRrs_iA&lp=0" target="_blank">click here</a> (pdf).</p>
