The 111th Congress went into its Christmas recess last week with two very big items remaining on its agenda of major importance to education and the related service of transportation: jobs and highway funding.
The House this week approved the latest legislation designed to save jobs nationwide including those in K-12 education, and opportunities exist for transportation departments.
Members of the American School Bus Council descended upon the Capitol at the beginning of December, looking for funding from the feds, and brought a new approach with them.
