Please urge your U.S. Senators to support and co-sponsor legislation that would help states and localities improve deteriorating and outdated school buildings. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives passed two bills that would help states and localities modernize their school buildings (H.R. 2187 and H.R. 3221). Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) has introduced another bill, S. 1121, the School Building Fairness Act of 2009, which has the same goal. All of these bills include provisions that would provide grants to states and local school districts to reduce classroom noise and improve acoustics.
Please visit ASHA's Take Action Web site to communicate to your U.S. Senators on this important legislation. For further information, please contact Neil Snyder, ASHA's Director of Federal Advocacy, at 800-498-2071, ext. 5614 or nsnyder@asha.org.
