Resources on Constitution Day (a sampling) ===( DRAFT
Prepared by Raymond A. Foss, Esq.

Disclaimer – This listing is just a sampling of the vast sea of sites about Constitution Day. A Google search on July 11, 2006 has 716,600 pages with “Constitution Day” in them - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22constitution+day. And we need to remember that there are over 13,000 school districts in our country, with over 45 million students - http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2001/100_largest/discussion.asp, and that doesn’t include the colleges and universities, so the range of resources are almost infinite.

The Constitution Day Mandate

2005-09-02T21:40:00.000-04:00

The United States Department of Education implemented, on May 24, 2005, the Constitution Day and Citizenship Day requirement, applicable to all educational agencies that receive funding from the U.S. Department of Education. (US Dept. of Educ., Notice of Implementation, 70 Fed. Reg. 28727, 5/24/05.)

This Notice implements a provision of Public Law 108-447, in section 111(b). (Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, Public Law 108-447, December 8, 2004, 118 Stat. 2809, 3344-3345, (pp. 536-537 of pdf).)

All such educational institutions, whether school districts or universities, must provide programming on the U.S. Constitution on September 17. If the 17th lands on a weekend, as it does this fall, schools must offer the programming the week before or after. Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia is responsible for this requirement.
