PTA Legislative Update
Contact your representatives TODAY to urge them to vote against the proposed FY2024 Labor-HHS-Education bill. The bill proposes cuts of $22.1 billion in education funding—a devastating 28% loss of vital educational programs. This bill would:
- Completely eliminate the Statewide Family Engagement Centers Program (SFEC), negatively harming countless children and families nationwide who are in need of vital family engagement opportunities and services.
- Reduce 80% of Title I funding, significantly risking the quality of education children receive in low-income communities.
- Cut roughly $300 million to school mental health services under Title IV-A, leaving schools understaffed to address the pressing national youth mental health crisis.
You can Take Action on this legislation, as well as others impacting children, by visiting the National PTA website. CLICK HERE TO ACCESS.
