My most recent information suggests that Congress may be our best hope for getting significant changes in the Draft Statement of Work. Specific names I have heard are Senators Kennedy (contact information: 317 Russell Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510, Phone: 202/224-4543, FAX: 202/224-2417 Email: senator@kennedy.senate.gov ), Mikulski, (709 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington DC 20510-2003, Phone: (202) 224-4654, FAX: 202-224-8858 Email Form: mikulski.senate.gov/mailform.htm) and Byrd (311 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington DC 20510, Phone: (202) 224-3954 FAX: 202-228-0002 E-mail: senator_byrd@byrd.senate.gov ) have expressed an interest, so perhaps in addition to your own Congressional representatives you could also contact these three.
The Draft Statement of Work refers comments to
| Jeff Halsted, Contract Specialist E-mail: Jeff.C.Halsted@ed.gov Telephone: (202) 708-8283 Fax: (202) 708-9817 |
U.S. Mail: U.S. Department of Education Contracts and Purchasing Operations Regional Office Building, Room 3069 7th and D Streets, SW Washington, DC, 20202 |
Some have suggested that folks might also want to raise issues with Congress, or with the Secretary of Education, Rod Paige (Rod Paige, Room Number 7W301, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202, Phone: (202) 401-3000, FAX: (202) 401-0596, Email: Rod.Paige@ed.gov). You can find your own Congressperson contacts at your senator or your representative. Or write to one of the Congress members who have an ERIC Clearinghouse within their district and tell them about it's importance to you.
