CEC joined the Friends of IES in sending a letter to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, HHS, Education and Related Agencies, requesting $670 million be provided for the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 appropriations bill. Adequate funding enables IES to best support research, data collection and statistical analysis and dissemination, along with growing evidence to inform effective and efficient educational practice and policy across the nation for children and youth with disabilities and gifts and talents.
You can write to your member of Congress too! Go to CEC’s Legislative Action Center before April 28th to tell your member of Congress to invest in special and gifted education, early intervention and research programs.
