JC/DC Action Alert – Title I Comments Due Thursday

Make Your Voice Heard on the Implementation of the New Every Student Succeeds Act! Take Action Now!

 

Currently the Department of Education is accepting comments on the implementation of Title I under the newly reauthorized Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).  PTA is committed to making sure this law keeps meaningful family engagement a focus, and states receive both greater clarity over terminology included in the language and regulations on aspects such as assessments, under performing subgroups, and technical requirements that define school quality or student success.

 

Re-authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA – ESSA) was just the first step.  We now need to make sure our Department of Education produces the much needed regulations and procedures that are the best for all our kids.

H&R Block Budget Challenge

HRBlockBudgetChallenge

We think personal finance education is so important, we’re paying people to learn.

Everyone knows money doesn’t grow on trees. At least they will if H&R Block has any say in it. By learning strong budgeting skills and fiscal discipline early, kids can gain the knowledge and confidence to manage their own financial future. Our free H&R Block Budget Challenge encourages students to learn personal finance in a fun, engaging way while competing against other classrooms and students for $3 million in classroom grants and student scholarships.

Money smarts + classroom grants + student scholarships = 1 challenge worth taking on

THE H&R BLOCK BUDGET CHALLENGE

It’s fun. It’s free. And students love it. Participants encounter real-world personal budgeting situations, problem-solving, and decision-making through an online simulation and accompanying lessons that meet national standards. With sessions September through April, teachers have six opportunities to participate.
