That afternoon, we (Greg and Cindi) attended the Department of Education's budget briefing presented by Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education. The tone of this briefing was positive. There was evidence of steady progress on the education agenda for our country.

Notification: Proposed Bylaws Changes

The ACPA Bylaws serve as an important articulation of the governance structure and values of the Association. Bylaws, by their nature, serve as the foundation for an association’s structure rather than as an expression of operating policies or procedures. As such, any recommended changes to the Bylaws are considered carefully by the leadership and recommended for membership vote only when it is believed that the changes are of significance. ACPA’s Bylaws state that all members in good standing have the right to vote on Bylaws changes.
