The Farmingdale Lobby Committee recently met to develop their legislative proposals for the 2007-2008 State Budget. They have committed to a letter writing campaign, endorsed by the National School Board Association, asking Federal and State legislators to sign a "Pledge to America's Schoolchildren" ensuring that America's schoolchildren receive the highest quality public education available. This pledge urges Members of Congress to improve the No Child Left Behind Act, helps school districts meet the needs of disabled students, supports readiness programs for kindergarten age students, collaborates with school districts to improve math and science skills, and attracts or trains qualified teachers. The Farmingdale Lobby Committee hopes that the signing of this pledge will boost student performance and close the achievement gaps nationwide. Pledge signers will be listed on the website www.pledgetoamerica sschoolchildren.org.
