The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Mitch McConnell Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate Washington, DC 20515 Washington D.C. 20510 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy The Honorable Charles Schumer Minority Leader Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate Washington, DC 20515 Washington D.C. 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader McCarthy, and Minority Leader Schumer, The 1,900 plus individuals below write in strong support of legislation drafted by the Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition, the State E-rate Coordinators’ Alliance (SECA), and Funds for Learning to provide funding to connect students, teachers and adult learners to high-speed Internet access services. We are very concerned that schools and libraries will not be able to return to full operation in the fall, and many students, teachers and adult learners will need immediate financial assistance to access broadband connectivity at home to engage in on-line learning. Our proposed “Remote Learning During COVID-19 Act” appropriates $5.25 billion to a separate emergency fund to be administered by the Federal Communications Commission to connect students, teachers and library patrons to broadband at home. This bill reflects the new reality that the traditional classroom model has had to shift to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to keep students and teachers safe and healthy. This initiative is backed up by NCES and GAO data and other research conducted by Funds for Learning, which calculates that $5.25 billion is needed to ensure that the 7 million families that cannot afford broadband internet access are able to do so. Our proposed bill builds on the good legislation introduced by Rep. Grace Meng (H.R. 6563) and Senator Ed Markey (S. 3690) and would strengthen those bills in the following ways: 1) It provides one-time emergency funding of $5.25 billion to the FCC for the creation of a separate remote learning initiative; 2) It provides funding for home broadband service, broadband network equipment, end-user devices (such as laptops or tablets); 3) It provides funding for cybersecurity so that schools and libraries can protect their networks against ransomware and cyberattacks, which have been on the increase; 4) It ensures that all broadband providers are eligible to participate (provider-neutral); 5) It explicitly allows schools and libraries to extend their existing networks to serve the surrounding community (including for backhaul) without jeopardizing their existing universal service funding; 6) It directs the FCC to set funding caps for each school district (or independent school) and library to ensure fiscal integrity and so that schools and libraries know how much funding is available for their planning purposes; 7) It allows expenditures back to the beginning of the COVID-19 emergency declaration; 8) It streamlines and expedites the review and approval process so that schools and libraries can receive their funding soon after the bill’s passage and can implement online instruction and learning in the fall. We urge you to incorporate the provisions from the “Remote Learning During COVID-19 Act” in the next Coronavirus relief legislation and to enact this legislation this summer.

  • Birds of Mount Greylock Mount Greylock State Reservation INFORMATION GUIDE & SIGHTING LIST

    Birds of Mount Greylock Mount Greylock State Reservation INFORMATION GUIDE & SIGHTING LIST

    Birds of Mount Greylock Mount Greylock State Reservation INFORMATION GUIDE & SIGHTING LIST Birds of Mount Greylock is a two-part document. Part 1 is a basic overview of the variety of bird species found in and around Mount Greylock, where you might encounter them in the Reservation. Part 2 is a birding checklist for your records. Part 1 Managed by the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR), Mount Greylock State Reservation covers over 12,500 acres of upland habitat. The summit at 3,491 feet above sea level is the highest point in Massachusetts and supports the only sub-alpine ecosystem in the state; one of the southernmost extensions of the boreal or spruce-fir forest, normally associated with Canada. Why go birding? If you want a challenge, camaraderie, fun, passion, beauty, insight, travel, and discovery, go birding. All this aside, humans have certainly altered face of the landscape, sometimes negatively impacting bird habitats. Bird populations, over time, have responded by shifting to more suitable habitats or disappearing altogether from certain areas. Still other species have been either hunted to extinction, their distinctive habitats completely destroyed, affected by pesticides or pollution, or even displaced by competing bird species. There is a widely held belief within the bird watching community is that an interest in birds is often the first step toward building a sound conservation ethic. Birds are sensitive indicators of the health of the environment. It is likely that a popular widespread commitment to their well- being will lead to a greater concern for the quality of the environment on which humans and birds are mutually dependent.
