ACTION ALERT
Please ask Congress to provide additional funding, as well as flexibility, in meeting some of the requirements under IDEA.
If your district is struggling to meet IDEA mandates, we urge you to take a moment to email congressional leadership and the Minnesota congressional delegation asking them to ensure the next COVID-19 relief package contains additional revenue and sensible, flexibility for IDEA. For your convenience, we have a template letter for you to use.
