Phone, e-mail or fax your Members of the House regarding what you want them to do when they are asked to vote. Remember that given that this is a period where all of the lobbying restrictions are in place, USE NO FEDERAL RESOURCES TO DO THIS, UNLESS ASKED DIRECTLY FOR INPUT BY A MEMBER OF CONGRESS OR THEIR STAFF. Contact information for your representative is here . Here are some important points to keep in mind as you contact your representative: We should drop NRS until such time as there is science to support it. Taking one million staff hours per year to implement an instrument that the GAO has identified does not work, takes us away from 1 million hours of learning time for the children! We want Head Start to continue to be a proud asset of both parties and seek bi-partisan support.

Approximately 22 groups are planning fiber optics-based systems. An additional 20 Instructional Television Fixed Services (ITFS) sites are in operation, and local districts are planning the expansion and operation of several of these sites. The state has decided not to create a state-level, distance learning system or network, but to allow projects to be created at a local or regional level. Then a backbone infrastructure would be created to link these projects. State Efforts The Wisconsin Educational Communications Board (ECB), the licensee of six of the state's eight public television stations, coordinates telecommunications planning efforts among state education institutions. ECB works with the University of Wisconsin system, the Department of Public Instruction, and the Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education (VTAE) system. In August 1989, the state legislature created a 15-member Information Technology Advisory Board (ITAB) to manage a comprehensive study and make recommendations for improving Wisconsin's data processing and telecommunications systems, including education services. The ITAB published a report in November 1990 entitled Information Technology Management in Wisconsin. One of the report's major recommendations was the formation of a statutory board on information technology under the governance of the Department of Administration. Another priority identified in the ITAB report is the implementation of strategic business and information technology planning throughout all state agencies. A recommendation affecting education was to provide a centralized support for the independent, regional educational telecommunications initiatives that have been established throughout the state.
