Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the United Teachers of Dade, and local construction workers will hold a press conference tomorrow at noon in Miami Jackson Senior High's media center to help kick off President Clinton's "Rebuilding Our Nation's Schools" campaign.

The president will launch the campaign simultaneously in Des Moines, Iowa. Jackson High is at 1751 N.W. 36 St.

M-DCPS and UTD will join school districts and teacher unions around the country to call on Congress to vote for H.R. 1660, a bill designed to help local school districts build, modernize, and repair our nation's public schools and thereby reduce class sizes, enhance student learning, and wire classrooms for 21st century technology.

For more information on local activities, contact Alex Bromir, Chief Administrator, Bureau of Community Services, at 305-995-1125, or Annette Katz, UTD, at 305-854-0220.
