Dear FABES friends,

Please see the important update below from NABE. In these critical times, it is essential that we remain united and fully committed. Every action *no matter how small* makes a meaningful difference for our English Language Learners. TAKE ACTION 💪🏽

[NABE- National Association for Bilingual Education @NABEorg]

The National Association for Bilingual Education is calling for immediate action regarding the delay in FY25 Title III funding for English Learners. With over 5.3 million students affected, timely disbursement is crucial for their academic success. We urge you to contact the U.S. Department of Education, amplify this issue, and engage with your elected officials to advocate for our students. Together, we can ensure equitable education for all. #BilingualEducation #TitleIII #EnglishLearners #Advocacy #EducationEquity
