This week at the Washington State School Directors' Association conference in Seattle I was elected to the Legislative Committee, representing King County.  I was also appointed to the NSBA Federal Relations Network as Coordinating Member for Congressional District 8.  I'll be attending the FRN conference at the end of January along with my 10-year old son Duncan.  (Aren't Alaska $50 companion fare coupons great?)  We're looking forward to exploring our nation's capitol together in addition to meeting with our representatives in D.C. to discuss priorities for reauthorization of ESEA (a.k.a. No Child Left Behind), federal education stimulus programs, core standards and assessments, and other initiatives for education reform.

 

And if you haven't heard, WSSDA also selected the Issaquah School Board as a 2009 Board of Distinction.
