We support fully funding IDEA.
Support strong public schools by taking these actions today.
The Keep Our Pact Act (S. 72/H.R. 764) would create a mandatory 10-year path to fully funding both Title I of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)—critical programs for the students most in need. Title I programs for low-income students and schools were shortchanged by nearly $30 billion in the 2019-20 school year. Congress promised to pay 40 percent of the excess costs of special education services when IDEA was first passed, but has never come close—the federal share is now less than 14 percent. Now is the time to fulfill America’s promise of equal opportunity for all students.
Email your members of Congress and tell them to cosponsor and support the Keep Our PACT Act.
