Bill Summary
Expressing support for the Nation's local public K-12 schools and condemning any actions that would defund public education or weaken or dismantle the Department of Education.
AI Summary
This resolution strongly affirms the critical importance of public K-12 education in the United States and the essential role of the Department of Education. The resolution emphasizes that approximately 90 percent of U.S. students, including 95 percent of students with disabilities, attend public schools, and highlights the federal government's historical role in creating educational equity across different communities. It details the Department of Education's numerous functions, including administering grants for students with disabilities (through IDEA), supporting low-income schools (through ESEA title I-A), providing professional development for educators, supporting English-language learners, and protecting students from discrimination. The resolution explicitly supports continued federal investment in public education, rejects the diversion of educational funding to private schools through vouchers, and opposes any executive branch attempts to dismantle or significantly reduce the Department of Education's operations, funding, or grant programs. By doing so, it argues that such actions would disproportionately harm students from rural areas, low-income families, students of color, and students with disabilities, ultimately undermining American educational competitiveness.
