As we continued to work for President Obama's school modernization legislation, Vice President Lily Eskelsen worked with CNN on a special news piece that reveals just how hazardous crumbling schools are to student learning.

CNN will shine the national spotlight on indoor air quality (IAQ) in schools across America with a segment airing on Saturday, January 14 at 8 p.m., 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. ET.  The program will reair again at the same times on Sunday, January 15.  The piece will follow CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta as he visits schools in Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut to examine the impact of IAQ on students and school employees.  During his travels, Dr. Gupta spoke to NEA members and leaders, including NEA Vice President Lily Eskelsen, who emphasized the dire need to fix our schools, making clear the safety and health issues for students and impact on learning.
