Tuesday, June 12, the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee that recommends federal funding levels for education met and approved the following increases for special education:
- $100 million for IDEA Part B Grants to States
- $20 million for IDEA Part C Grants to Infants and Toddlers
- $10 million for the National Center for Special Education Research.
Thank you to all of our CEC members for your continued advocacy on these important issues. CEC sent over 1400 letters to the Senate – just in the last few days - urging Senators to support special and gifted education funding. Your voice made a difference!
This is just the first step in the budget process. We need your help again today to continue the amazing momentum we are building! On Thursday, June 14, the full Senate Appropriations Committee will meet to vote on the Subcommittee’s recommendations. Please urge your Senators to approve the Subcommittee’s requested increases and provide increases to IDEA Part D and gifted and talented education.
