Thanks for inviting me to join you and for taking time to talk with Nebraska’s congressional delegation about the state’s amazing public schools. It was a fun evening.
The NCSA Advocacy Team arrived in Washington yesterday and received a briefing from federal liaison and founder of Foresight Law + Policy over dinner in Georgetown.
We have a full day of meetings with NE’s delegation on The Hill, and are ready to brave the heat! #NCSAOnTheHill
