HOW ED TRUST UPDATES ON THE GREAT AMERICAN HEIST OF STUDENTS, FAMILIES, SCHOOLS ....
|
Posted By: agnes levine on August 12, 2025 For Immediate Release From Ed Trust! The Great American Heist — the largest transfer of wealth in U.S. history — has overshadowed the return of students to our nation’s classrooms. However, we received welcome news last week: the Senate Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittee approved its latest funding proposal for the Department of Education. Its contents delivered a strong rebuke to both the White House’s budget plan and Secretary McMahon’s vision for education in America, and it was passed out of committee by a 26-3 bipartisan vote. The bill includes EdTrust priorities like Title I, which received a slight funding increase, but also maintains funding for the maximum Pell grant, several programs to increase the number of teachers, including supporting the development of teachers that look like the students they serve, and pathways programs, like Postsecondary Student Success Grants, which support college students and student parents getting to and through school successfully. While this proposal is far from becoming law and contains lower levels of investment in a broad swath of educational programs than our students deserve, we applaud the bipartisan effort to fight back against the Great American Heist and its attacks on America’s students, parents and families, schools, and communities.
