IDEA Full Funding Act (Federal)

The IDEA Full Funding Act (S.1277 & H.R.2598) ensures that Congress finally fulfills its commitment to fully fund 40 percent of costs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Fifty years ago, Congress passed IDEA to ensure that every child with a disability has access to public education. This law was a historic step forward, but since its passage, Congress has failed to provide the funding that it promised.

The legislation is bipartisan, supported by more than 35 Senators and more than 85 Representatives. The bill is endorsed by 60+ organizations including teachers unions alongside disability and civil rights organizations.

It's about time - let's keep our promise to our schools, our kids.
