Take Action: Urge Your Representatives to Vote Against Proposed Cuts to Essential Education Programs for Students
The long-term success of our nation depends on quality federal investments in our education system. And yet, a small group of members of the U.S. House of Representatives has proposed significant funding cuts that threaten the quality of education for 49.9 million children across America.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Labor-HHS-Education bill proposes cuts of $22.1 billion in education funding – a devastating 28% of vital educational programs.
This bill would:
-
- Completely eliminate the Statewide Family Engagement Centers Program (SFEC), negatively harming countless children and families nationwide who are in need of vital family engagement opportunities and services.
-
- Reduce 80 percent of Title I funding, significantly risking the quality of education children receive in low-income communities.
-
- Cut roughly $300 million to school mental health services under Title IV-A, leaving schools understaffed to address the pressing national youth mental health crisis.
Time is ticking, and we need you to take action now. TAKE ACTION NOW
Contact your Representatives TODAY to urge them to VOTE AGAINST the proposed FY2024 Labor-HHS-Education bill, to ensure we can get adequate funding for our schools to have the proper resources needed to help children learn, grow and succeed.
