Âܲ·AVÊÓÆµUrges Congress to Protect K-12 Education Funding for FY26

May 09, 2025

Today, Âܲ·AVÊÓÆµ- along with ALAS, ASBO and NREA - sent a letter to the members of the Appropriations Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (LHHS) urging them to protect K-12 education funding and prioritize critical formula funding programs in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026.

In the letter, we emphasize the importance of key formula programs—such as IDEA, Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV-A, and the Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP); raise concerns about the proposals in the President’s "skinny budget" released last week; and highlight the need for timely federal funding allocations to help superintendents effectively plan budgets and support students.
