Boyarsky began his Fellowship helping the staff of the committee manage the Neighborhood Schools Improvement Act for the Chair of the committee, Representative Dale Kildee (D-MI). Boyarsky says, “I became a third member of the team, initially serving as an assistant for them and then taking the lead in the areas of content standards and school delivery standards.” He says, “I became the eyes and ears of the staff,” attending meetings, briefings and conferences. And, later, “Following my contributions to the committee report on H.R. 4323 I was asked to do some background work in framing the issues for potential legislation of technology in education.” Boyarsky says, “Professionally [the Fellowship] fulfilled all my expectations and more. I . . . realize the importance of policy decisions, leadership and funding to proper functioning of schools. I have an understanding of the process of legislation . . I plan to be more involved in the political process within Oregon.”
