Take action today to urge Congress to protect the U.S. Department of Education! 

Our nation’s public schools serve over 80% of our nation’s students, and programs and funding streams administered by the U.S. Department of Education—including the Office of Civil Rights, disbursement of Title I and Title II funding, grants through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and Statewide Family Engagement Centers program—serve students and families most in need of vital supports across the country. These programs are all essential to improving academic outcomes and student well-being and cannot be dismantled or reallocated without having devastating impacts on the children, families and schools they serve. 

In response to recent efforts to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, Representative Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon introduced H. Res. 94, a resolution asserting Congress’ commitment to protecting the U.S. Department of Education, emphasizing its role for families, children, and schools and the importance of maintaining funding streams like IDEA and Title I that are managed by the Department. 

Take action today and urge your members of Congress to co-sponsor H. Res. 94 and support public schools and the families and children served by them across the country.
