[ISLMA-Share] TIME SENSITIVE Regional Feedback to US Dept Ed DUE 8/18 (tomorrow!)

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Please fill out this very brief survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PML2GPN for the US Department of Education about your priorities and educational needs and remind them to support effective school library programs in Illinois. You could answer #5 with something like: Work to ensure that every school has an effective school library program that includes a certified school librarian and adequate funding

The deadline is Thursday, August 18th. (That's tomorrow!)

The survey provides feedback for developing the US Department of Education Comprehensive Centers http://www2.ed.gov/programs/newccp/index.html)  that provide  technical assistance to State education agencies (SEAs) capacity to support local educational agencies (LEAs or districts) and schools, especially low-performing districts and schools; improve educational outcomes for all students; close achievement gaps; and improve the quality of instruction.

Ten Regional Advisory Committees (RACs). http://www2.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/rac/index.html are collect<http://www2.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/rac/index.html>ing information on the educational needs of each of the ten regions. To the extent the Secretary of Education deems appropriate, the Department will use the information submitted by the RACs, along with other relevant regional surveys of needs, to establish priorities for the next cohort of Centers.

Let the RACs know that school librarians in effective school library programs are critical to the educational needs of your region!
