Disclosure: I work for an <a href="http://www.sendwordnow.com">emergency notification</a> company. We strongly believe that emergency notification services DO in fact improve student safety, and there are documented cases where lives have been saved using the services. When it comes to student safety, we shoulad not hold back funding.... 46626@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:00:00 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5806.html#35761 I do not support this bill. I do not support taking more funding away from services used for teaching (e-rate eligible services) and giving it to something that does not appear to improve student safety. Emergency notification is primarily after the event has occured.... 35761@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 27 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_HR_5806.html?rev=24470 <p>H.R. 5806 would permit universal service support to schools under the Communications Act of 1934 to be used for enhanced emergency notification services.</p> <h2 id="toc0"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>School Emergency Notification Deployment Act - Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish competitively neutral rules to permit universal service support to public and nonprofit elementary and secondary schools to be used for a communications service or system that can be used by school administrators and other public officials to deliver emergency messages to students and their parents, faculty, and staff, and their designated emergency contacts, via messages carried over telecommunications and information services, including those transmitted by providers of commercial mobile service.</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc1"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 4/16/2008: Referred to House subcommittee.
