The Administration wants to close the U.S. Department of Education, and Congress needs to take action. Without an appropriate education, students with disabilities face higher rates of poverty, unemployment, poor health, and social isolation.
- The Department of Education is crucial for students with disabilities.
- It holds states accountable when they’re not meeting the needs of students with disabilities.
- It funds critical programs to increase the supply of special education teachers.
- It provides parents with information on how to navigate the education system for their child with a disability.
Act now and tell Congress that the Department of Education must be protected.
