Representatives Glenn Thompson (R-PA) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) are asking their colleagues to join them in urging the Senate to act on Perkins reauthorization. In June, the House unanimously passed H.R. 2353, the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, which would reauthorize the Perkins Act. However, the Senate has yet to act on a Perkins bill that would make important improvements to the federal system of support for CTE.
You can assist Reps. Thompson and Krishnamoorthi by asking your congressperson to sign on to a letter to the Senate education committee in support of Perkins reauthorization. Please take a few minutes to help in this effort by contacting you representative in the House!
and also ask to insert the phrase:
“support for Family and Consumer Sciences programs that build essential skills in personal effectiveness, social/emotional health and work/life balance.”
