I'm a therapist who would like to advocate for teaching emotional intelligence in schools. Who do I reach out to?

I think that teaching kids about empathy and emotional intelligence in schools would have profound impacts on reducing acts of aggression and increasing the success of our students. Yale has a program for this. But how does one go about getting it implemented in schools? Should I talk to local school boards, my congress representatives, etc.? Should I focus on city level, state level, or both? Who is responsible for making these kinds of changes?
