Education Funding

Guidance and resources for school district leaders navigating federal education funding.

  Background

Federal education funding and federal programs (such as Title I and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act [IDEA]) create stable, equitable, predictable and adequately funded schools based on local, state and federal revenues that meet the challenges of opportunity and provide the funding base needed to support a system which leads to success for all students. 91ÖÆÆ¬ supports legislation and litigation at the federal and state level that results in increased student achievement while looking to the future.

 

  91ÖÆÆ¬'s Position & Priorities

91ÖÆÆ¬ is committed to advocating for the following:

  • Equitable federal funding mechanisms, including key federal programs such as Title I and IDEA, as well as a robust conversation to revise and strengthen the efficacy of poverty indicators within federal education programs. 
  • Federal education policy should support additional federal funding to provide mental health services for students, staff and families.  
  • Formula funding and policy should support the total child, from physical and mental health to the development of fundamental lifelong learning skills.
  • Champion federal funding for building and rebuilding schools with a priority for standalone, formula-driven federal funding for school facilities.
