We have an important advocacy update regarding Title IV-A funding for education programs. The Title IV-A Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) grant program, which provides critical support for safe and healthy students, well-rounded education, and educational technology, is at a crucial point in the legislative process.
Action Needed: Sign the Dear Colleague Letter
We need your help to encourage your House representatives to sign onto the Title IV-A Dear Colleague letter, led by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR). This letter calls for robust funding for Title IV-A in Fiscal Year 2026, ensuring continued support for locally-tailored education programs, including music and the arts, STEM, career and technical education, mental health services, and much more.
Sign the Letter Here | Deadline for sign-on: May 16th
Every step you take helps ensure that students across the country have access to the programs they need to thrive. Together, we can make a powerful impact on the future of education. If you have any questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.
Let's work together to secure the resources our students deserve!
