Since when are people seriously, and I mean seriously, questionning the worth of before and after school programs? To get students, wherever they live in America, to school early and/or to stay late is no mean feat!!! That in itself is a real task and to be able to have meaningful programs for them is particularly useful.
I have a request of you, if I may. The legislation to keep these programs or to eliminate them (which is, unfortunately, a possibility) is in the hands of Congress, specifically the Subcommittee called Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education. I'd like to ask you to take a minute of your time to write a simple two or three sentence letter and get it off to the two ranking members of the subcommittee. Ask them to maintain the above critical program and others facing the chopping block.
Please send your letters to Representative Todd Rokita and Representative Jared Polis. They both share the same subcommittee mailing address which is: The U. S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education, 2716 Rayburn House Office Bldg., Washington, DC 20515.
Many thanks,
Dick
