NEA gives Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson an A

WASHINGTON, DC Last week, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson reacted to the release of the National Education Association’s (NEA) Annual Legislative Report Card for the first session of the 114th Congress:

“I am honored to have received an ‘A’ from the National Education Association. Education is one my highest priorities; and I am committed to supporting policies that empower students and teachers across our country. In order to train a workforce that is prepared for a global economy, it is imperative that we invest in the public education system. Schools have to be properly-funded and America’s children deserve to be educated in an environment that cultivates their creativity and innovation.”

The NEA’s report card analyzes members’ votes on key legislation affecting education during the first session of the 114th Congress. They considered issues including, but not limited to, K-12 education policy, education funding, and the federal budget.  The highlight piece of legislation passed during the first session of this Congress was the Every Students Succeeds Act, a bill that ensures high standards in our nation’s public schools, maintains accountability for schools to aid struggling students, empowers state and local leaders with proper resources to improve their schools, reduces unnecessary and ineffective testing, and increases the access to pre-school.

Congresswoman Johnson has established a reputation for education advocacy and has received the grade of ‘A’ on the National Education Association’s Annual Legislative Report Card for the 113th, 112th, 111th, and 110th Congresses.
