NEA's position on NCLB does not come from our leaders in Washington, D.C. Our position has been formed by members. Member leaders chaired a committee on this issue, hearings wereheld at each of the NEA Regional Conferences, NEA Regional Conference attendees reported back to their states and members, ISEA Delegates took a substantial block of time to have delegate table conversations at our delegate assembly. It is membes who decide what the NEA position on NCLB and other important issues will be.
