As we approach the upcoming election, it's crucial to understand the potential effects it may have on our students and their families. Education is a cornerstone of opportunity, and the decisions we make today will shape the future for generations to come. Representation matters. When Latinx voices are included in educational policy-making, it ensures that the unique needs and perspectives of our communities are addressed. This is why today's conversation is so vital.

As schools across the country reckon with the ending of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds, many, if not all, are trying to find ways to sustain the services these funds supported. For most schools, that means finding some sustainable method of funding mental and behavioral health services. Fortunately, an expanding and increasingly well-known pathway through school-based Medicaid exists. Outside of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), school-based Medicaid is the single largest source of sustainable funding for health services in schools.

Hola y bienvenido a All4Ed Flash, donde le traemos las últimas noticias sobre políticas educativas. Soy Enrique ChaurandLos republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes en el Comité de Asignaciones presentaron un importante proyecto de ley de gasto interno, que recortaría el gasto en educación en un 28% y, en su opinión, “controla la burocracia derrochadora y mejora la supervisión y la rendición de cuentas”.Aquí hay algunos de los detalles. Dentro de este recorte general del 28% al Departamento de Educación se encuentra un recorte del 80% al Título I, la corriente de financiación más grande del gobierno federal desde jardín de infantes hasta 12.º grado que apoya a estudiantes de familias de bajos ingresos. Esto sería catastrófico y recortaría la financiación a niveles vistos por última vez hace casi 40 años. Según el Comité Demócrata, esto supondría una reducción de 220.000 (dos cientos viente mil) maestros en todo el país.Si bien los fondos del Título I penden de un hilo en este proyecto de ley, la legislación propone eliminar varios programas, entre ellos:Desarrollo profesional docente, o Título II, que ahora recibe más de $2 mil millones;Adquisición del idioma inglés, o Título III, que atiende a 5 millones de estudiantes de inglés; yTrabajo y estudio federal, que apoya a 660.000 estudiantes universitarios.Otros programas domésticos fuera del Departamento de Educación también serían eliminados o sufrirían recortes importantes. Por ejemplo, se eliminarían los programas de capacitación laboral para jóvenes financiados a través del Departamento de Trabajo. Head Start se reduciría en $750 millones, recortando el apoyo a 50.000 niños. AmeriCorps, que inscribe a más de 200.000 personas anualmente en servicio, se reduciría a la mitad.En total, el proyecto de ley republicano elimina 61 programas en nombre de “restaurar la responsabilidad fiscal” e incluye varios requisitos y prohibiciones políticas para obstaculizar la agenda del presidente Biden. Esto incluye una prohibición de implementar las Órdenes Ejecutivas del Presidente sobre diversidad, equidad, inclusión y accesibilidad y promover la equidad racial y el apoyo a las comunidades desatendidas.Rosa DeLauro, la principal demócrata en el Comité de Asignaciones respondió: “Estamos siendo testigos de un ataque generalizado a la educación pública que debería horrorizarnos a todos”.Si bien el proyecto de ley aún tiene que ser examinado pronto por el pleno de la Cámara de Representantes, el Senado aún no ha publicado su propia propuesta. Con esa cámara controlada por los demócratas, es probable que su proyecto de ley sea bastante diferente. En última instancia, los líderes del Congreso tendrán que llegar a un acuerdo con la Casa Blanca para mantener abierto y operativo el gobierno federal, un proceso que probablemente consumirá el resto del año.Gracias por escuchar All4Ed Flash.

All4Ed Flash en Español! ⚡️ Escucha mientras discutimos las decisiones de SCOTUS que ocurrieron el 29 y el 30 de junio. En el episodio de hoy, cubrimos dos de los casos que abordaron los desafíos al plan de alivio de la deuda de préstamos estudiantiles del presidente Biden.
House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee advanced a major domestic spending bill, which would cut education spending by 28% and, in their view, “Reins in wasteful bureaucracy and enhances oversight and accountability.”Let's dive into some of the details. Within this 28% overall cut to the Department of Education is an 80% cut to Title I – the federal government's largest K-12 funding stream supporting students from low-income families. This would be catastrophic and slash funding to levels last seen nearly 40 years ago. According to Committee Democrats, it would lead to a nationwide reduction of 220,000 teachers.While Title I funding hangs on by a thread in this bill, the legislation proposes to eliminate several programs, including: · Teacher professional development, or Title II, which now receives over $2 billion;· English language acquisition, or Title III, which serves 5 million English learners; and· Federal work study, which supports 660,000 college students. Other domestic programs outside the Department of Education would also be eliminated or see major cuts. For example, job training programs for youth funded through the Department of Labor would be eliminated. Head Start would be reduced by $750 million, cutting support for 50,000 children. AmeriCorps, which enrolls more than 200,000 people annually in service, would be cut in half. All told, the House Republican bill eliminates 61 programs in the name of “restoring fiscal responsibility” and includes several policy requirements and prohibitions to stymie President Biden's agenda. This includes a prohibition against implementing the President's Executive Orders regarding diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility and advancing racial equity and support for under-served communities. Rosa DeLauro, the leading Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, said in response: “We are witnessing a widespread attack on public education that should horrify all of us.”While the bill still has to be The bill will soon be considered by the full House of Representatives, but the Senate has yet to release its own proposal. With that chamber controlled by Democrats, their bill is likely to look pretty different. Ultimately, Congressional leaders will need to come to an agreement with the White House to keep the federal government open and operating, a process that is likely to consume the remainder of the year.
Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel proposed $200 million to strengthen cybersecurity and protect school networks. Funding would be available over three years through a pilot program within the Universal Service Fund, but separate from the E-rate program, which currently funds internet connections within schools and libraries. This new investment would help school districts address the growing numbers of cyberattacks, which have caused learning loss, expenses, and headaches for district leaders. It's also a direct response to pleas from over a thousand school districts and formal requests from a coalition, including All4Ed, asking the FCC to help “schools and libraries struggling on the wrong side of the cybersecurity poverty line.”This proposal is one part of the Chairwoman's Learn Without Limits initiative, announced last month. In addition to strengthening cybersecurity, Rosenworcel is proposing to expand internet access by funding Wi-Fi on school buses and Wi-Fi hotspots that students could check out just like a book from the school library. These policies are needed now, because federal funding for home internet access will dry up by the end of this year unless Congress replenishes the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF). While they wouldn't replace the supporty 17 million students currently receive through ECF, these proposals are a step in the right direction.But will they actually be implemented? That depends on the U.S. Senate. In order for Chairwoman Rosenworcel's proposals to take effect, she needs support from a majority of FCC commissioners. The FCC is supposed to have five commissioners, but today, it only has four because President Biden's initial nominee for the fifth position – Gigi Sohn – withdrew due to opposition from Senate Republicans and Senator Joe Manchin, who said he wouldn't vote for her.The Senate Commerce Committee approved Biden's new nominee, Anna Gomez, along with the reappointment of two sitting Commissioners – Geoffrey Starks, a Democrat, and Brendan Carr, a Republican.If the full Senate approves all three nominations, the FCC will have its full slate of commissioners, including a 3-2 majority for Democrats. That would give Rosenworcel the votes she needs to push through her Learn Without Limits agenda. We'll keep you posted once these nominations hit the Senate floor in the coming weeks.Thank you for reading our follow up blog. We will be back with a new All4Ed Flash next week.
