AASA's Position & Priorities
萝卜AV视频is committed to advocating for the following:
- Equitable federal funding mechanisms, including key federal programs such as Title I and IDEA, as well as a robust conversation to revise and strengthen the efficacy of poverty indicators within federal education programs.
- Federal education policy should support additional federal funding to provide mental health services for students, staff and families.
- Formula funding and policy should support the total child, from physical and mental health to the development of fundamental lifelong learning skills.
- Champion federal funding for building and rebuilding schools with a priority for standalone, formula-driven federal funding for school facilities.
