Cold War could be used to rebuild America and ensure

women at the local level who care most deeply about
education -- the National Schools Boards Association,

School Principals, the American Association of School
Administrators, the Council of Great City Schools, the
National Education Association, and the American
Federation of Teachers -- have jointly called for new
federal budget priorities that reflect post-Cold War
