For years, PTA members and families nationwide have been advocating for investments in the Statewide Family Engagement Centers (SFECs) program because family engagement is critical to student success and school improvement efforts, including efforts to make our schools safer.
We applaud Congressional leaders for acknowledging the importance of family engagement and for their bipartisan commitment to the SFECs program to help ensure every child receives a high-quality education in an environment that is safe and reaches their full potential.
In addition to funding for the SFECs program, National PTA is pleased to see that the #omnibus includes a $2.6 billion increase in funding for education overall from the fiscal year 2017 level as well as an increase of $300 million for Title I...
...and an increase of $275 million for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), through which grants are provided to states to help provide a quality education to children with disabilities.
National PTA is also pleased that the #omnibus includes $1.1 billion in funding for Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants (Title IV-A), which support safe and healthy students through funding of comprehensive school mental health, drug and violence prevention programs.
Further, we are pleased that the #omnibus effectively repeals the Dickey amendment, lifting a ban on research to study the causes and effects of gun violence. The bill also includes the STOP School Violence Act and the Fix NICS Act, both of which PTA advocated for at #PTALegCon.
“We commend Congressional leaders for addressing gun safety & violence prevention and investing in programs to ensure our children can learn and thrive in school. We urge Congress to pass the #omnibus & the president to sign it ASAP for students, families & schools." @no_wax_nate
