During the first week in June, the Coalition for Comprehensive School Improvement, of which Turning Points is a member, met in Washington, DC to urge legislators to continue funding Comprehensive School Reform. At present, CSR is zeroed out of the 2005 federal budget, representing a loss of $308 million in funding, and assistance to thousands of schools. As we informed legislative staff on both sides of the aisle about the necessity of this funding, many advised us to mobilize those who are directly benefiting from the program. Thus, if your school has engaged in reform using CSR money, we are urging you to get in touch with your representatives. Fax, call and e-mail to let them know how working with Turning Points has affected your school's environment, and benefited teachers and students. Sample letters in support of the Comprehensive School Reform funding: To find your senator's contact information, please click here. To contact your representative in the House, please click here. We would greatly appeciate it if you could carbon copy us at lrugen@ccebos.org, so that we know what information is being provided to legislators.
