What You Can Do: Tell Congress to Infuse Funding in Support of Special Education

What You Can Do: Tell Congress to Infuse Funding in Support of Special Education

As Congress continues to address the COVID-19 crisis – whether through the next piece of legislation or future efforts – it is critical that members of Congress hear from their constituents about their needs.

CEC has developed a request for 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.

Action Alert:

Please follow the simple prompts on CEC’s online platform to add to the over 3,000 letters your colleagues have sent to Congress in support of emergency IDEA funding.

CEC encourages you to share this alert with your friends and on social media. You do not need to be a CEC member to join us in action.

Take action
