General Policies and Procedures
If you would like to pose a question to the listserv, send an email to lesn.coordinator@ncsl.org, and include the following information:
- Your question
- Background information to provide context, if necessary
- Whether or not you want to remain anonymous
- Deadline for when you need the information
If you decide to pose a question directly to the listserv or respond to the listserv, please:
- Keep posts as brief and concise as possible.
- Use a descriptive subject line.
- Feel free to respectfully correct errors and mistakes and don’t hesitate to respectfully disagree when an issue comes up that allows for opinions. Never ridicule or demean others.
- Limit posts to education issues. More specifically, pre-k through postsecondary education issues that come up in the state legislative arena. Note for example that questions, responses, or discussion about home, private, and religious schools and colleges are fine if there is an underlying legislative purpose.
- Limit posts to the entire list to those issues which serve a general purpose. For example, emails with non-informative information directed at a single person, such as "thank you," “I apologize,” "I agree," or "me, too," should probably be sent privately off-list unless you are very sure that it is appropriate.
Thank you for choosing to join the LESN listserv. Should you have complaints or suggestions regarding the listserv, please send them to marilyn.villalobos@ncsl.org.
LESN reserves the right to refuse to post anyone’s post or response without a publicly stated reason.
