Welcome to NJAET!

ACTION NEEDED -- advocacy alert from ISTE

Continuing our great teamwork on E-Rate, we are now turning to the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) which for the last 13 years has been referred to as the No Child Left Behind Act. With your help we can raise our voices about the importance of a separate digital learning program in the final bill. This action is the first step in a long process, and we expect a lot of activity in February and the next few months.
