Rumor is grants for special educator teacher & leadership training are about to be canceled. That means fewer special educators during nationwide shortages, fewer people who attract/retain teachers the field, and most importantly, poor outcomes for kids with disabilities and their families. #OSEP

🚨The White House just issued an executive order to close the U.S. Department of Education. Eliminating ED or moving IDEA to another agency will be a step backward in serving those with disabilities.

The IES Practice Guides and resources inform every single literacy course & training for pre-service & in-service teachers. Any literacy intervention that has evidence behind it has evidence because the studies were funded by IES, OSEP, or by NIH. Every $ spent on IES research saves tax payer $.

Excellent piece by my colleague, Zach Rossetti on Section 504 and its importance for protecting the rights of students with disabilities in light of the current lawsuit attempting to limit its impact

POV: Accommodations Provided to Students with Disabilities Under 504 Plans Are Now Threatened
Pending lawsuit, if successful, “would significantly restrict the civil rights and freedoms of people with disabilities”

We’ve all had that boss… We know what’s up.

Americans are clear: they do not support Elon Musk and these devastating cuts.

This isn’t about efficiency. It’s about looting the federal government, giving Elon Musk private contracts, and mining Americans’ data.

We will continue to fight back.

As Republicans move a budget resolution tonight, it’s important to understand this: they're working on tax breaks for billionaires while slashing health care, education and public safety and doing nothing about the really big problems most Americans are facing, like the rising costs of housing.
