In accordance with the approval of delegates at Convention 2010, the LWVUS will undertake a study of the “Federal Role in Public Education.” The study will focus on the role of the federal government in education policymaking, with possible consideration of funding, common standards and/or governance relationships among all levels of the government. Members of the committee will be responsible for developing study materials and consensus question, participating in reviewing/ tabulating all of the responses submitted by participating Leagues, and based on those, recommending position language to the Board. The LWVUS Board is now seeking applications from members who are interested in being on the study committee. Please complete the online application form (including your resume), no later than August 16, 2010.
