Send an email to your Congressional Representatives to restore educational technology funding

This year, the WSSU received over $60K in educational technology funding.  In next year's budget, all of the ed tech funding has been elimintated.  As Congress continues to debate the FY11 budget, it has never been more important that your federal legislators know how important the Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) program is for your students.

You can help by emailing your congressional representatives and asking them to restore at least some of the funding.  It's an easy process...the following link will take you to a web site that will send emails directly to our representatives. There's even a  form letter written (which you can modify).  Take a moment and let Washington know how you feel.
