Title II Day of Action

The President's proposed budget eliminates all funding for Title II. Funding for this program was originally authorized under ESSA (the Every Student Succeeds Act). Title II Part A provides funds for professional learning for teachers and for principal leadership development.

If you work in a public school, it's likely that Title II funding supports one or more of the following: instructional coaches, professional learning opportunities for teachers and leaders, mentoring programs, implementation of innovative practice, technology integration, and teacher recruitment.

Please join us for this Wednesday's Title II Day of Action. On Wednesday June 14 we want Virginia's representatives to hear us! Need ideas? Try one of these.

Send a letter to each of your representatives in Congress. Not sure what to say? See a sample letter here.
Call or email your representatives. Not sure who your representatives are, or need their contact information? Use this link.
Tweet - especially on Wednesday! Use the hashtags #TitleIIA and #FundTitleIIA. Tag your representatives, including Senators Kaine (@timkaine) and Warner (@markwarner). Looking for your House Member's twitter handle?

Your message counts because they count! Number of contacts matters. Thank you!
