Action Alert: The Louder Our Voice, The Stronger Our Impact

Action Alert: The Louder Our Voice, The Stronger Our Impact

Last week, CEC members wrote to Congress seeking a one-time infusion of emergency funds for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to directly target and support the needs of states, school districts, and educators.

Despite the many pressing stressors, educators across the country are committed to serving all students during the COVID-19 crisis, including students with disabilities. It is imperative that Congress provide more resources to support school personnel in providing remote, online, and/or tele-education to students with exceptionalities.

CEC members joined together, writing roughly 2,600 letters to Congress.
