The education appropriations bill passed by the House provides a $1 billion increase for Title I and a $1 billion increase for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In contrast, the pending Senate education appropriations bill provides no additional funding for either program.
Email your senators and representative and tell them to match the House Title I and IDEA increases in any final funding bill.
The census determines the allocation of billions of dollars in federal funding for public education, including Title I schools serving more than 24 million students, special education grants to the states, school breakfast and lunch programs, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that has lasting benefits for children’s health and academic success.
To ensure the correct amounts are allocated for these programs, everyone needs to be counted. Email your representatives and tell them to push for adequate funding for the 2020 Census.The Keep Our PACT Act would ensure education is a priority in the federal budget by creating a mandatory 10-year path to fully funding both Title I and IDEA.
Email your members of Congress and tell them to cosponsor and support the Keep Our PACT Act.
