Ask Your Congressional Representative and Two U.S. Senators to Support Dedicated Ed Tech PD Funds

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate are currently negotiating a new COVID-19 relief bill. 

ISTE, which WEMTA is an affiliate organization of, is asking everyone to contact their Congressional Representative and two U.S. Senators to ask that the next COVID-19 relief bill include $2.13 billion in dedicated educational technology professional development funds.  

Please contact your federal lawmakers as soon as possible in support of this request!  It is critical that they hear from you about the need for educational technology professional development funding. The most important thing you can do is share your personal stories and examples!

ISTE has prepared an automated email that you can send: https://www.iste.org/advocacy?vvsrc=%2fcampaigns%2f75085%2frespond. However, we encourage you to call or email your lawmakers personally to share your stories in your own words.
