Education Funding
Ensure Great Public Schools for Every Child
HIGHLIGHTS
EDUCATION PROGRAMS STILL AT RISK OF DEEP CUTSThe failure of the Super Committee to reach a deficit reduction deal last year triggers “sequestration” or automatic cuts scheduled to go into effect January 1, 2013. These cuts, if unchanged and implemented, could slash billions from education and cost additional loss of jobs across America. See the projected impact of these cuts on education. The cuts to education programs would also result in a projected loss of more than 71,000 jobs in communities across America. We have a year to stop these cuts.
Take Action today: Tell Congress to protect education from further cuts.
DO YOUR STUDENTS HAVE THE SAFE, MODERN SCHOOLS AND CAMPUSES THEY DESERVE?
Across the nation, far too many students are learning in schools and on campuses with leaky roofs and peeling paint in overcrowded classrooms with out-of-date or no technology. Senator Brown (D-OH) and Representative DeLauro (D-CT) have introduced the Fix America’s Schools Today Act (S. 1597/H.R.2948), which would provide needed funds to ensure students the learning environments so essential to their success. And, the bill will also help create good jobs to put Americans back to work, as construction and building repair generally create 9,000-10,000 jobs per billion dollars spent.
Take Action Today:
- Tell your Members of Congress to put Americans back to work and ensure our children the education they deserve by supporting school and campus modernization.
- Share your story -- Keep the stories coming. We are using your stories to help put pressure on Members of Congress to do the right thing and focus on creating a great public school for every student.
