Each year, NCSL's Trust for Representative Democracy collects information about how many legislators participated in the America's Legislators Back to School Program the
previous school year. The program encourages legislators to visit
classrooms and bring civics to life for students all across the country.
About 1,200 state lawmakers participated in the program. The charts
below show the top legislatures and chambers for 2010-11.
Congratulations to the Massachusetts Utah and Virginia senates for obtaining 100 percent participation! tied for the state with the highest percentage of
legislators participating. Utah and Virgnia topped the list when both chambers are combined.
Thanks to all the great legislative staff coordinators in the states who make the America's Legislators Back to School Program possible.
