Let them know that limiting the Department of Education’s capacity to serve all students regardless of race, zip code, gender, ability, or status only harms our students and keeps them from making their potential a reality.
With the announcement of major staff layoffs at the Department of Education, it is more critical than ever to let your members of Congress know that this is hurting our 1.1 million children and youth in Washington State.
The critical staff being eliminated are from the Office of Special Education and the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, overseeing programs and disbursement of funds impacting some of our most vulnerable students in special education and Title I programs.
Let’s use our collective voices to speak for our young people!
