Support strong public schools by taking these actions today.
It’s time for Congress to invest in the children who are the future of America. The funding levels for FY2022 approved by the House Appropriations Committee chart a new course in public education, the backbone of our nation’s human infrastructure. Overall, U.S. Department of Education funding would increase by more than 40 percent. Title I funding for high-poverty schools would more than double, rising by $20 billion—the biggest year-over-year increase since the program’s inception in 1965. The annual Pell Grant maximum would rise significantly, along with funding for full-service community schools, special education, Head Start and career, technical and adult education. The cost would be covered by reversing the biggest giveaways in the GOP’s 2017 tax bill, increased funding for the Internal Revenue Service, and requiring corporations and wealthy individuals taxed at lower rates than working families to pay their fair share.
