As the only organization that lobbies and advocates for public school education, it is important that we keep current with issues and trends in education locally, in Virginia, and nationally. While Bracey spoke from a national perspective, this month you have the opportunity to hear the local perspective. Don't miss the opportunity to hear Congressmen Tom Davis and Jim Moran address local educational concerns at this month's meeting. As Kappans, we lead the way and set an example of child advocacy. Please review the committee choices published inside and contact me with your choice.
Many committees only meet once or twice while some meet more frequently.
Consider applying for a Phi Delta Kappa District VIII grant. The process is simple and the projects provide support to local school and district initiatives. The project can be small or large in scope, covering just one school or the district. The vitality of our chapter depends on an active membership. Membership applications will be available at the meeting.
