Good to see @USDEducation moving forward to ensure rights of students with disabilities, & especially black students, are protected. Unfortunate they required a little convincing from our friends at @COPAA

"These measures are crucial to ensuring our 1.4 million children achieve post-secondary success: whether they’re heading to college, trade schools, the military or choose another option after graduating high school." - @DrLRepollet
By boosting school funding by $206 million in our budget, we’re now on a path to meet NJ's obligation to fund our children's education. Investing in our students is how we build a stronger middle class for New Jersey. nj.gov/governor/news/news/56…
