Reporting suggests that as many as 41 states and DC stand to lose almost $3bil in funding that was already obligated but not yet liquidated (or reimbursed) as the now-cancelled extensions had allowed final payments to be made through early 2026. On the blog. www.aasa.org/resources/bl...

What does IDEA mean for students? ✅ Individualized learning plans ✅ Early intervention ✅ Inclusive classrooms ✅ Protections & advocacy ✅ Pathways to independence #IDEA50

IDEA supports educators, too! The law provides funding for teacher training and professional development, helping schools meet the needs of all learners. #IDEA50 #TeachTheFuture

Special education services rely on IDEA funding—with serious cuts to USED, processing & support from the federal level could slow down, impacting students with disabilities. #IDEA #SpecialEducation

When federal employees are laid off, our schools suffer. From processing funding to providing guidance, the support schools rely on comes to a halt. Our kids deserve stability! #Education #IDEA50

Looking for ways to stay engaged on the important work to fully fund #IDEA, especially this year, when IDEA turns 50? Make sure your national organization is part of our IDEA Full Funding Coalition (check out our website: ideafullfunding.org)

IDEA isn't just for K-12! It also funds early intervention services for babies and toddlers, giving kids a strong start from birth to age 3. #IDEA50 #EarlyIntervention

Since IDEA passed, graduation rates for students with disabilities have more than doubled! Education transforms lives—and IDEA makes it possible. #IDEA50 #SuccessStory

Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work. Below are just a few examples from my LinkedIn feed.

Hey #NCE2025! Looking for ways to celebrate #IDEA turning 50 and highlight the need to #FullyFundIDEA? We have a social media campaign! Join us all of March in our work to post daily to advance this important work. Deets on the @aasadvocacy.bsky.social blog: www.aasa.org/resources/bl...

TODAY'S THE DAY @aasadvocacy.bsky.social update at #NCE2025 is at 12:45 in room 338. Come join @TaraEThomas1 @SPudelski @k_sturdevant and me for all the fun we can muster as we talk all things federal policy.

Where to find @aasadvocacy.bsky.social at #NCE2025 today: www.aasa.org/resources/bl...

Did you know? Before IDEA, 1 million students with disabilities were entirely excluded from public schools. Today, 7.5 million students benefit from its protections! #IDEA50 #Inclusion #NCE2025

50 years of IDEA! Since 1975, nearly 90% of children with disabilities now attend neighborhood schools—learning alongside their peers. #IDEA50 #InclusionMatters #NCE2025

Every district in America is impacted by IDEA funding shortfalls. Fully funding IDEA means: ✔️ More resources for special education ✔️ Lower local tax burdens ✔️ Stronger schools & communities Congress must act! #IDEA50 #FundIDEA #NCE2025

Super pumped to hear from @joshcowenmsu.bsky.social at this year’s @AASAdvocacy #NCE2025 federal relations luncheon!!

Congress promised 40% of the additional cost of educating students with disabilities. Schools get around 10% today. The rest falls on states, local districts, and families. That’s unacceptable. #FundIDEA #IDEA50

@markey.senate.gov and Senator Cassidy Reintroduce Children and Teen’s Online Privacy Protection Legislation; @aasa.org is proud to support the bill Details: www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Underfunding IDEA shifts costs to states, districts & families. A fully funded IDEA means better services, smaller caseloads, and stronger student outcomes. Congress must ACT. #IDEAFullyFunded #SpecialEducation

Every student deserves a fully funded education. When IDEA isn’t fully funded, schools are forced to cut corners. Let’s push Congress to finally meet its promise! #IDEAFullyFunded #IDEA50

It's #NCE2025 week. Here's everything you need for following @aasadvocacy.bsky.social onsite in New Orleans this week: www.aasa.org/resources/bl...!

IDEA funding shortfalls create an unfunded mandate for local schools. When Congress underfunds IDEA, states & districts must cover the gap—forcing cuts elsewhere. It's time for Congress to fully fund IDEA. #IDEA50 #FundIDEA

IDEA transformed education by making it inclusive. Before the law, millions of children were excluded. Now, students with disabilities thrive alongside their peers. Inclusion benefits EVERYONE. #IDEA50 #InclusionMatters

Happy 50th Anniversary to IDEA! 🎉 Since 1975, this landmark law has transformed education, ensuring students with disabilities receive the services & support they need. Let’s celebrate progress & commit to a fully funded future! #IDEA50 #SpecialEducation

THREAD. Read it. Share it.

Pondering a future where more and more children face chronic health conditions/physical disabilities due to being unvaxxed (w/feds threatening $ for schools w/vax requirements), AND where they lack any Section 504 protections (after the gutting of those).

Don't flunk the future! Federal education investments are vital for students, families, communities & the economy. Tell Congress why education funding matters to you. The @edfunding toolkit has the information you need to let Congress #HearOurEdStories at tinyurl.com/4sr2whkt
