Washington, DC — Today at 1:30PM EDT, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and White House officials will hold a conference call for national and regional reporters to discuss a new report highlighting how the American Jobs Act will support nearly 400,000 education jobs, prevent layoffs of educators and allow thousands more to be hired or rehired. This call will take place ahead of the President's remarks at Eastfield College in Mesquite, Texas, where he will urge Congress to pass the American Jobs Act now to keep teachers in the classroom and rebuild our schools across the nation.
