Hon. Joseph M. Hoeffel said "This amendment would add new flexibility to the Federal funds provided in this bill in the enhancing education through technology program to clarify that our school districts on their own initiative can use these funds to provide for the associated cost of leave time so that teachers can be trained in technology. When I was first elected, I wanted to make sure I knew as much about the public schools in my district as I could. I wanted to hear from the educators in my district about their needs. I sent out a survey to each of the school districts. I started and continue to hold regular education round tables open to parents and teachers, principals and superintendents. I learned a lot about my district and the schools in my district. They obviously put a high priority on educating children, and they want to use the highest and best technology." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
