Governors: Support CS

Hi all,

Just had a conversation with Code.org. Excited to share that New Jersey has the 5th highest participation rate of any state on the number of CS emails to the Governor.

Those states ahead of us started 2 days ago, we started 4 hours ago!! NJ Rocks!

Thanks and keep it going. Have your family members send an email. Here is the link. (takes 2 minutes at most)

Feel free to share the original email with other stakeholders.

Governor Murphy is the vice-chair of the National Governor's Association (NGA) and will be the chair next year. He is working with Arkansas's Governor Hutchinson, who is the current chair of NGA. Here are a few exciting pieces of information and a way you can help.

National Governors Association - CS Ed Initiative

Governor Hutchinson has made Computer Science Education his chairman's initiative this year. Here is a 2022 NGA Plenary on Computer Science Education. The first 15 minutes is a great speech by Governor Hutchinson (worth watching) followed by a panel discussion with CEOs.

Meet the Press

Governor Murphy and Governor Hutchinson were both on Meet the Press to discuss bipartisan efforts. They both mentioned Computer Science Education. You can find it here around 1:30

GovsForCS

We are excited that Governor Murphy is also one of the 14 members of Governors for CS. Thanks to Code.org for leading this effort.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

As Governor Murphy holds the role of vice-chair and future chair of the National Governors Association, we would like to thank him for all his support and encourage him to use this platform to continue to promote Computer Science Education.

Please take a minute to use this link to send Governor Murphy an email supporting the NGA Computer Science Education initiative.

Thanks for supporting CSforAll. We are positively impacting the lives of our students.
