United States Senator for Maryland Barbara Mikulski held a round table discussion yesterday at the industrial park complex in Accident before meeting with local student participants of the Garrett Engineering and Robotics Society. Directing the talk, Mikulski asked the opinions and advice of numerous Garrett County educators, business owners, and government officials concerning the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, its effects, and possible reforms to the bill. The effort is part of the senator’s education tour and a preamble to the senator’s plans to reauthorize the ESEA. The group focused its discussion on the needs of rural educators and students, and the achievements made by local students in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and math. Mikulski was recently appointed chairwoman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Subcommittee on Children and Families. The HELP committee will play a major roll in the reauthorization of the ESEA, a bill signed into law in 1965 and reauthorized in 2002 as the No Child Left Behind Act, which deals with equal access to education and establishes standards for students and educators. Mikulski is shown above observing a demonstration of battle robots by GEARS students. Pictured left to right are: Mikulski; Arlene Lantz, GEARS instructor; GEARS students Kendrick Bender and Kevin Maust; and Mario Cardona, an associate of the senator.
