Decades ago, Congress promised to fund 40% of special education costs - yet today, local schools receive less than half that amount, leaving state and local budgets to carry a multi-billion-dollar deficit. The IDEA Full Funding Act (<a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2598" target="_self">H.R.2598</a> / <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1277" target="_self">S.1277</a> ) sets a mandatory timeline to finally honor that pledge, providing public schools with the resources to hire specialized educators, deliver crucial therapies, and foster inclusive classrooms for every student.
Fulfilling this commitment is not just a budget issue; it is a matter of basic civil rights for millions of students with disabilities. Underfunded special education places an unsustainable burden on teachers, families, and schools alike. Your voice can bridge this gap.&nbsp;
Contact your Representative and Senators today, urge them to co-sponsor the IDEA Full Funding Act, and demand that federal funding matches federal promises!
