Student Voices

President Obama and the United States Congress have authorized the spending of billions of dollars to stimulate the economy. A substantial portion of those funds are directed toward schools across the United States and people in state government, school board members, school administrators and other adults are all making plans for the best possible use of the money. Who's missing? Our students! We need the ideas of the people who will be most directly affected by the billions of dollars available to the education communities across the land. Plan to add your student voices!
