(Seattle, WA) – Today, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) visited Chief Sealth International High School to hear from teachers, volunteers, and students about the Technology Education and Literacy in School (TEALS) program, in which employees from Microsoft and other tech companies help provide high-quality computer science education for students in Washington state. Senator Murray also discussed her work in the Senate to increase access to STEM education, including in her rewrite of the K-12 education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
“We are all here today because we understand that sparking a passion for STEM, and computer science specifically, can change a student’s life. And it’s not just students that benefit—it’s critical to helping strengthen our economy, state, and country,” said Senator Murray. “It’s one of the many reasons I worked to fix the broken No Child Left Behind law—so that we increased support for computer science educators and programs, like TEALS. I strongly believe that every student—regardless of their future careers—will benefit from stronger STEM education.”
“It’s an honor to have Senator Murray, a champion of computer science education, visit a school where our employees, and those from other companies, are helping bring computer science education to students across Washington state and the country,” said Mary Snapp, Microsoft Corporate Vice President and leader of Microsoft Philanthropies. “TEALS is a great example of a public-private partnership in which we are working together to inspire students to study computer science in order to have the skills needed to fill the jobs driving the global economy.”
“President Obama believes that every child should have the opportunity to learn computer science, and that achieving this goal will require leadership at the federal, state and local level,” said Ruthe Farmer, Senior Advisor for Tech Inclusion at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. “It is great to see leaders like Senator Murray championing the need for equipping our students with these essential skills, and we look forward to working with Congress on this important issue."

NEWS NOTEBOOK: HAS THE LIBERTARIAN VICE PRESIDENT, JUMPED SIDES?
In a video clipped on the Gary Johnson facebook page, shows his running mate Bill Weld.
see video clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqpLj1kQ_po&feature=youtu.be
First of all this video clip was shared by a Trump supporter who posted on Johnson's facebook page.
Obviously, Weld better check who he is campaigning with, Gary Johnson, not with Hillary here. Weld as a lot of explaining to do, in my book when you are running on third party ticket, you should feel that you can trust the loyalty of your running mate not be going around vouching for another party candidate, especially not someone being investigated by the FBI. Don't you think?
