Several lawmakers, including Rep. Jahana Hayes and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, have introduced bills aimed at improving mental health services and education in schools. Rep. Hayes and Rep. DeLauro announced the Expanding Access to Mental Health Services in Schools Act to increase mental health professionals in schools. Rep. Eleanor Norton plans to introduce the Combating Implicit Bias in Education Act to provide funding for implicit bias training in schools. Various lawmakers emphasize the importance of quality education, school choice, and supporting students' success.
Our schools need support to ensure every child’s educational opportunity. I co-sponsored the IDEA Full Funding Act, which increases the federal allocation per student for special education. It’s a step towards fulfilling our commitment to students, families, and educators.
Every family deserves the opportunity to pursue the best possible education for their children, regardless of zip code. We should expand school choice opportunities and empower parents with more choices and flexibility in education. School Choice Now!
Wrong. Taxpayer money should fund high quality education. In Florida, any family of any income level can choose the educational option that’s best for their kids. Many do choose public schools. Many don’t. Isn’t this a good thing for “civil liberties”? https://t.co/RL0IqoovwW
On Friday, I plan to introduce the Combating Implicit Bias in Education Act to provide schools with funding for implicit bias training. Every student deserves the opportunity and support to succeed in class. Read my full release here: https://t.co/ybMkRSbRj0
Today, @RepJahanaHayes and I held a press conference highlighting the Expanding Access to Mental Health Services in Schools Act. We are fighting to ensure Connecticut's students have access to the mental health supports they need to succeed. https://t.co/Dldws2smGc
When I am in D.C. I will fight to make sure the federal tax dollars follow the student— not end up propping-up failing schools that trap our kids' minds and futures. We moms and dads want America to succeed–that starts with setting our kids up for success. https://t.co/JWL44ryskr
I joined @rosadelauro to announce the Expanding Access to Mental Health Services in Schools Act, which would address the urgent need to increase mental health professionals in schools. Our children deserve access to mental health services that are immediately accessible to them. https://t.co/owh4yYhXMF
