The Proposed 2001 Platform and Resolutions are subject to member comment. In addition to accountability, the 18-member Resolutions Committee explored the concept of leadership in its proposal. The leadership resolution gives a nod to technology as well as societal demands in redefining the role of public education. The use of networked laptops allowed all Resolutions Committee members to participate anonymously in brainstorming that generated 163 responses. In addition, the committee urged moving a resolution on safe schools to become the second plank in AASA's platform, after a statement about the condition of children.
Safe schools is a very critical issue.
The address for AASA is 1801 N. Moore St., Arlington, VA 22209-9998.
