"We know from national data that there’s a lot of kids struggling in school right now. The vast majority of those kids are not identified for special ed. ... How are we making determinations about who gets help and how should they get help?"

Shifting vital education programs across federal agencies weakens civil rights protections, undermines support for low-income and first-generation students, and threatens equal opportunity.
Closing the Education Dept. would harm the very students it exists to serve.

Educators deserve balance. But a new @RAND.org report shows that most teachers struggle to find work-life balance, and too few school districts are taking steps to help. Smaller class sizes, more planning time, and supportive leadership make all the difference.
Report: Schools Must Prioritize Teacher Work-Life Balance | NEA
A new survey finds educators face more job intrusion and job flexibility issues than other working adults. There are more than a few ways school districts can help address this imbalance.

Cuts to federal programs like SNAP and Medicaid reduce the number of children eligible for free school meals, which, in turn, threatens a school's ability to offer free meals to all students. See how your state is impacted. 👇🏾
