CHESTER COUNTY WOMAN TO REPRESENT PA IN WASHINGTON DC

Landenberg, PA,– Parenting magazine announced that Susan F. Rzucidlo of Landenberg has been selected to represent Pennsylvania at the third-annual Mom Congress on Education and Learning conference in Washington, D.C. this April 29^th  through May 1^st.  Susan was chosen for her outstanding contributions and dedication to improving local schools.

A total of fifty-one delegates, representing each state and the District of Columbia, have been selected by Parenting from a record-setting number applications submitted through Parenting.com.  Each will receive an all-expense-paid trip to D.C. for the event, where they’ll have the opportunity to connect with national leaders in education, Parenting editors, and past Mom Congress delegates to exchange ideas on how to improve our nation’s schools.

“I was thrilled and honored to be selected as this years Delegate for Pennsylvania,” says Susan of her excitement to be a part of Mom Congress.   As  a parent of 4 children I know that education is the key to success, not only of the individual but also for the nation. Providing a quality public education to all students regardless of where they live, or how much money their families earn is a vital to our future. Accountability across all segments of the educational system is essential for providing all students with the skills they need to succeed in life. As a candidate for the Pennsylvania State House I am very concerned about the unelected corporate government that seems determined to privatize public education by allowing individuals to use public dollars to make a profit at the expense of our children's education.”

The theme of the 2012 Mom Congress conference, “Teach Me Something New,” is dedicated to fostering the crucially important relationship between parents and their children’s teachers.  For the third consecutive year, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan headlines the roster of education and advocacy leaders scheduled to address the delegates at the conference. Others scheduled to appear include NBC News’ Education Nation, First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move!, Save the Children, National PTA, National Education Association, Teach for America, and more.

In her work as an education advocate, Susan has served hundreds of families as a free advocate to help them identify and secure appropriate educational services for their children. She has worked to have inclusive classes and programs created in her district and developed public/private relationships to benefit public education and her community.
