Need Talking Points about Vouchers, a.k.a. Education Savings Accounts?

AASA Associate Executive Director Noelle Ellerson Ng recently sent the link below to state executive directors. The information provided there will be helpful for use in conversations you might be having with others about vouchers which are being widely discussed on a national and state level.

Time for a Break!

Personal experience tells me you may have sent your staff home for a four-day weekend while you are in the office today and maybe plan to come in tomorrow as well to catch up on work. I hope you find a slower pace, different hours and are able to find time to relax.

Thank you for all you do. You are amazing leaders and also deserve a break!
