The No Child Left Inside bill (NCLI) is currently still in committee. It will hopefully be attached as an amendment to the ESEA (No Child Left BEHIND) bill that Obama should be authorizing later this year. They both have a fair number of co-sponsors. In OREGON Sen. Wyden is a co-sponsor. Sen. Merkely is not.
Leadership from the House Education and Labor Committee issued a bipartisan statement last month reflecting their commitment to amending and improving ESEA (No Child Left BEHIND) this year.
They have flagged NCLI on their website as a key bill up for consideration and are inviting organizations and agencies to submit comments on NCLI and other legislation related to ESE.
The NCLI website recommends:
Please take a few moments today to email the Committee at eseacomments@mail.house.gov and let them know that you support the inclusion of the No Child Left Inside Act (H.R. 2053) in the reauthorized ESEA. Please consider calling or writing to your senator as well.
