On Thursday, at 10:15 a.m. ET, the Committee on Education and Workforce, chaired by Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI), has announced it will hold a hearing titled “Examining the Policies and Priorities of the Department of Education.”  Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is scheduled to testify about the U.S. Department of Education Fiscal Year 2027 budget. COPAA has opposed the Department’s proposal to eliminate Part B 619 funding for preschool and all Part D National Activities along with other cuts (e.g., to the Office for Civil Rights and special education research). COPAA urges its members to email Congress urging them to reject the cuts and support children with disabilities as they negotiate the education appropriations bills.
