A $265.7 million cut to IDEA funding in MD means fewer resources for kids with special needs—less therapy, support, & individualized learning. Every child deserves a fair education, but these cuts put their future at risk.

✔️ More resources for special education
✔️ Lower local tax burdens
✔️ Stronger schools & communities
Congress must act! #IDEA50 #FundIDEA

Did you know? Congress originally promised to cover 40% of the cost of special education under IDEA. Today, schools receive less than 15%! It’s time to fully fund IDEA! #FundIDEA #IDEA50

IDEA funding shortfalls create an unfunded mandate for local schools. When Congress underfunds IDEA, states & districts must cover the gap—forcing cuts elsewhere. It's time for Congress to fully fund IDEA. #IDEA50 #FundIDEA

The federal government promised to fund 40% of special education costs under IDEA. Right now, they cover less than 16%. The NEA and AFT are fighting for full funding—because every student deserves the support they need. Demand action. #FundIDEA #SpecialEducation #PublicSchools
