Divided among the 3.5m public school teachers, that could be a $500 bonus for every teacher. Or a $500 professional development line item for every teacher.

Well, we somehow found $1.8b in the budget BUT we aren't spending it as planned, may I suggest we use it to invest in our public schools? To support the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act? To support workforce development for teachers? @ChrisVanHollen @SenWarren

Shout out to the @united gate agent at @Fly_KansasCity (flight 6615, Larry A.) Helpful and friendly, despite a two hour delay. He went above and beyond to help me, as well. Easily the most cheerful gate agent I’ve ever met.

Children with disabilities deserve strong oversight and support. Staff cuts to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) threaten the implementation of IDEA and the rights it protects. 📢 Urge Congress to restore OSEP immediately. #4SpecialEducation

Over the last 12 months there have been almost 32,000 hours of CEU's received via the on demand Learning Library at @CECMembership! We must prepare and support education professionals using solid evidence-based trainings to help them advance their craft. This is where it happens

Love seeing this student chapter of CEC fundraising to send undergraduates to the Special Education Legislative Summit to advocate for kids with disabilities! Dr. Mason brought a group last year, as well, and they were great! If you have a few dollars, https://t.co/Reepvv602P

CEC looks forward to working with newly confirmed Secretary McMahon to preserve IDEA at the Department of Education to educate and serve all students.

Thank you, @SenatorHassan for asking about Students with Disabilities!

[Chad Rummel, M.Ed, CAE @RumChad]

Thank you @timkaine for asking about enforcing IDEA beyond just finances and for asking about educator shortages. These are both at the core of what the Department of Education should be doing!

This would have horrible consequences for infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities.

[Jeff Mason @jeffmason1]

A White House official says @realDonaldTrump will take steps later this month to fulfill a campaign promise to defund the Department of Education.
