Tell Your Representative: Get ESEA Right
for All Students!

It has now been 13 years since No Child Left Behind passed, and it’s clear that this law has failed our kids. The focus in education has shifted from student learning towards testing, labeling, and punishing schools—with no significant progress in closing of opportunity gaps.
Right now, Congress is reauthorizing this cornerstone piece of education legislation – and they need to hear the voice of educators and parents across the country!

We can’t afford for Congress to get this wrong again. That’s why we need your help right now!

Tell Congress to pass an education bill that allows students to learn rather than focus on high-stakes standardized tests, and that ensures every child has the resources – like advanced courses, extracurriculars, and access to school counselors – to succeed.
