In an updated letter to influence the Fiscal Year 2026 Appropriations process which funds the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and other key education programs, this week COPAA told appropriators, “…we urge you to reject the White House Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 budget proposal that recommends steep cuts to education including by eliminating specific investments in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B Preschool (ages 3-5) and Part D National Activities and other harmful cuts.  Congress must continue to invest in and support all parts of IDEA as well as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).”  Please join COPAA in our fight to ensure Congress supports IDEA and email Congress TODAY.
