Schools are more than a grade.
Educating students means teaching them to read, supporting them through challenges, building confidence, preparing them for college & careers, keeping them safe, and helping each discover who they can become.
Our children are more than a score.

In 1975, when Congress passed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, it promised to fund 40% of the costs associated with the new mandate. Almost 50 years later, Congress has never fulfilled that promise, significantly hampering State, district, and school resources to meet the needs of children with disabilities. Congress must protect and increase investment in IDEA as they finish for FY2025 approps.
Investing in IDEA, a federal flagship formula program designed to help level the education playing field for students with disabilities, is an investment in our nation’s students and their future.
