State policies and funding help sustain military installations to retain jobs and preserve economic benefit. Attendees learned how states are providing and leveraging funds for base infrastructure needs and encouraging land uses compatible with the military mission. #NCSLsummit

@NCSLorg Great info and resource! Glad I attended this session!

[Nicole Russell @RealNRussell]

@TheNJCA Proud of the great work of the #JobCorps community! @PennFosterGroup remains committed to all current and future learners that change their lives through this vital program.

[NAFIS @NAFISschools]

More than 40 members of Congress, led by @RepStricklandWA, sent a letter to Ed. Sec. McMahon on the importance of #ImpactAid and requested urgent answers on its future. This vital program supports millions - thank you to all who are working to protect it! https://t.co/TvRW5teM11

Bipartisan support for school infrastructure!

[NAFIS @NAFISschools]

The #ImpactAid Infrastructure Partnership Act was introduced today! NAFIS strongly supports this vital legislation to invest in #schoolconstruction in federally impacted districts. Thank you @maziehirono, @RepGaramendi & @JayObernolte for your leadership! https://t.co/TD9lkNrU3J

Thanks for having us, @CSPANClassroom! It was fascinating to see the inner workings of one of America's great media institutions and learn more about the amazing resources and opportunities you offer educators. We loved the tour and the conversation!

[Nicole Russell @RealNRussell]

Happy to have the great support from @JayObernolte for #ImpactAid and education funding.

[Rep. Jay Obernolte @JayObernolte]

I appreciated the opportunity to meet with Silver Valley Unified School District Superintendent Jesse Najera, Assistant Superintendent Marc Lacey, and School Board President Karen Gray to discuss the critical role of Impact Aid. This funding is essential for schools serving military and federally impacted students, ensuring they receive the resources they need. I’ll continue to fight for Impact Aid to support our schools!

[NAFIS @NAFISschools]

NAFIS strongly opposes this executive order and any efforts to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, transfer #ImpactAid to another department, or decrease funding for federally impacted school districts.

[Nicole Russell @RealNRussell]

Thank you @OnslowSchools and @RepGregMurphy for a PreK tour and discussion on the importance of #ImpactAid and #IDEA funding for @NAFISschools. The highlight may have been saying the pledge of allegiance with a PreK class and they knew all the words!

[Nicole Russell @RealNRussell]

Happy Pi Day to all our educators out there, especially the ones who bring students pie! We’re fighting for more funding for your schools to improve student success and keep class sizes down! @NAFISschools #ImpactAid

[Nicole Russell @RealNRussell]

Impact Aid staff are safe from the RIF but we’re concerned what these cuts could mean for our public schools and the data that #ImpactAid relies on to make payments. @NAFISschools https://t.co/NMRkb651fU

We had C-SPAN at our conference!

[C-SPAN Classroom @CSPANClassroom]

This afternoon, C-SPAN Classroom's Pam & Zach had a blast presenting a power session entitled "Building Media Literacy" and sharing all that @CSPAN offers for teachers and students at @NAFISschools' spring conference!

Thank you for having us!

Public schools go above and beyond every day! Our latest IMPACT newsletter highlights how two federally impacted districts are supporting homeless students – just one of the many ways public schools make a difference! Read more: https://t.co/Icll4k0xWr #PSW25 #NAFISFamily
