Children receiving an appropriate public education can’t be based on the privilege of living in a certain state. Such massive inequality will harm millions of children and our country.

[PSmall @pascaledsmall]

Parents, the special education news is terrifying, & our children’s rights are protected under federal law (IDEA). Public + charter schools must still provide IEP services, & states must enforce that daily.

Stay informed, keep communication documented, & email your IEP team.

The nation's special education services have been significantly impacted after Friday's mass layoffs within the Department of Education and it could have an immediate impact on children with disabilities, Education Department sources told ABC News. https://t.co/YBqcF61Tyk

More than 1 in 4 U.S. public school teachers are missing the basic materials or staffing support needed to effectively do their jobs, significantly impacting workplace satisfaction, according to a new @Gallup report https://t.co/MmQcgqmLQg

How many parents have already asked their kids teachers when assessments for reading and math will happen and when we can schedule some time to go over the data to figure out if we need to offer kids more supports? 😀🙋🏽‍♀️

[PSmall @pascaledsmall]

I want to give a special shout out to our teachers who prepared their classrooms to welcome kids and families with joy and open arms yesterday. Families got to ask questions about special education, interventions and supports, math and reading, and extracurricular activities!

[PSmall @pascaledsmall]

Yesterday, @Diggs_ccboe Back to School Block Party was amazing! We welcomed new & returning families with music, food, translators & the opportunity to meet their teachers, receive free school supplies, sign up for @WilliamDiggsPto, & enjoy a performance by @NorthPointHS's band.

Congrats to all the Maryland schools recognized by @HealthierGen for their commitment to student wellness!

Especially proud of @CCPS Mary H. Matula Elementary School in La Plata, MD for being honored for excellence in School Health Services & Social-Emotional Health & Learning!

[PSmall @pascaledsmall]

Love this and this philanthropic focus must include health conditions for Black, Brown, and Indigenous women. Hope to see funding for folks ensuring women across our communities get the healthcare they need and deserve.

Voting for what will only benefit your state while knowing a bill hurts the country isn’t leadership, it’s selfish and short-sighted.

Republicans keep saying bills are flawed, but vote yes to “protect their state.” That inequity always circles back. https://t.co/VXOrfwJhkN

[PSmall @pascaledsmall]

It's extraordinary how in the U.S. we lack funds to help people, yet we have endless resources to harm them.

[PSmall @pascaledsmall]

This is a win for students & families who fought back. These programs serve over 1.4M kids at 10,000+ sites, providing academic support, childcare, & meals.

These funds should never have been frozen & $5B+ is still on hold impacting teacher training, migrant education, & more.
