ACTION ALERT: Federal Education Legislation: February 17, 2010

The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference has been contacted regarding an urgent federal
education matter.  The U.S. House of Representatives could vote soon on legislation
governing elements of a school’s disciplinary policy and practice.

The bill (HR 4247) would affect all public schools and private schools whose students
or teachers benefit from any federal education program (about 80 percent of Catholic
schools, for example).  The measure represents an unprecedented and unwarranted
degree of federal regulation of religious and independent education.

Please contact your U.S. Congressperson and ask him or her to vote no for HR 4247.
Below is a link provided by the Council for American Private Education (CAPE).
This link will allow you to contact your congressperson directly.
Legislative Action Center.  To learn more about the bill’s troubling provisions, visit
CAPE’s Web site.

Thank you for conveying to Congress your views on this legislation and for inviting
friends, family, and members of your community to do the same.
