Sample Letters to Your Members of Congress


Please send a letter to your member of Congress on the issues that are most important to your school district.

While it is most effective to write to your members of Congress in your own words, we recognize that you are extremely busy. Therefore, NSBA has an online legislative action center with sample letters that you may easily customize to include you own words and your own district stories and updates (which are always compelling). The benefits of using NSBA’s legislative action center include:

  1. Sample letters available for you to customize to instantly e-mail or print and fax to your members of Congress.
  2. Enables you to bypass regular mail which would take several weeks to go through the Capitol Hill security system.
  3. NSBA receives a record of your action, which helps NSBA lobbyists make a stronger case on Capitol Hill when they can show the response of school board members on an issue.

How to Use NSBA’s Legislative Action Center

  1. Click on the issue below that you want to write about.
  2. Fill in the blanks with your personal information.
  3. Add relevant examples about the issue from your district to the letter.
  4. Enter your contact information on the left side of the screen and click Go!
  5. Select which members of Congress you would like to email.
  6. Review your letter and hit Go!
